WILL MEDAL! LAST QUESTION!!!!! Rachel Carson wrote about the delicate balance of organisms in a food web. Snakeheads, a freshwater fish that is not normally found in the United States, was accidentally introduced to the Potomac River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay. As an adult, the Snakehead would feed on crustaceans, small fish, reptiles, and even small mammals. It would not have any predators in this environment. Considering the food web below, what potential impact could a similar organism have on the ecosystem?

please help last question!

OpenStudy (ghostgate):

Well if this is a paragraph problem I would say something like: "If a creature that was similar to the snakehead that normally doesn't have that many predators in the area would perhaps cause problems throughout the food chain, considering that the creature eats smaller organisms, that would result in less food for the other fish that eat the same type of food, but just one new species similar to this one wouldn't necessarily cause a whole lot of damage to starve out a different species, instead it would probably just co-exist with everything else. All in all, it may lessen the food, but then increase the food for the food chain, the smaller organisms may become smaller in number, but these fish would increase our food supply." That would be my summarization to answer this paragraph problem, it is a paragraph problem, right? Anyhow, if you plan on using what I wrote, paraphrase it so it fits on how you would say it. I hope this helps in someway! Have a great day! ;) {---Ghostgate---}

can i please use that?! first did you write the freehanded with no websites?

OpenStudy (ghostgate):

It's my own interruption of how I see it, I didn't use any website to help answer your question. It's actually my opinion over the matter, again like I said, paraphrase it if you're going to use it. Otherwise you may be targeted for plagiarism since this is written in my own words.
