Write An Essay On Invasive Species
Invasive Species what are they?
An invasive species is a plant, animal, or fungi that is not native to a certain area. These species can cause great damage to an ecosystem, human economy, human health, and other species that are native to the area. European Carp Troubles in Australia?! It is said that CYPRINUS carpio, or as it is more widely known as the European Carp, is one of the world's most common freshwater fish. How the European Carp arrived or when is unclear but the effects are noticeable since the carps have no natural predators in the waters of Australia so they are populating in an extraordinary rate. Which decreases the quantity of prey they have since they are consuming so much, in a small period of time. In the attempt to …show more content…
This snake was originally native to South East Asia, but how has this apex predator managed to overpopulate in the sunshine state of Florida. In 1990 Hurricane Andrew hit and caused destruction like any other hurricane does, but this hurricane let animals from the zoo and pet stores loose. And one of these animals was the Burmese python which "eluded" capture. Since then this snake has gone around and populated and since the Burmese Python has no natural predators it has overpopulated and started to enter into neighborhoods where small children run around and play and small dogs are loose.
Snake Head Fish are another example of Invasive species. "Snakeheads can become invasive species and cause ecological damage because they are top-level predators, meaning they have no natural enemies outside of their native environment. Each spawning-age female can release up to 15,000 eggs at once. Snakeheads can mate as often as five times a year. This means in just two years, a single female can release up to 150,000 eggs."
Another example of an invasive species is the Spiny Water-Flea, is a Planktonic crustacean which is less than 15 mm long. They eat small animals such as the Daphnia which is an important food supply for native
