Question

Select the correct answer.
The bighead carp, a fish that is non-native to the Missouri River, feeds on plankton. Many native fish species, such as the paddle fish, also feed on plankton. The feeding cycle of paddle fish is slower than that of the carp. The carp are eating up all the plankton in the river, and there is hardly any food left for the paddle fish. How will this impact the ecosystem of the Missouri River?
A.
The carp will be displaced.
B.
The paddle fish population will increase rapidly.
C.
The carp will become extinct.
D.
The paddle fish may become extinct.

Answer 12

The correct answer is D. The feeding competition between the non-native bighead carp and the native paddle fish can potentially lead to the extinction or endangerment of the paddle fish. As a result, this can lead to ecological imbalances in the river ecosystem as the paddle fish are an important part of the food web and contribute to the overall biodiversity of the system. The carp may not necessarily become extinct as they are currently thriving and their population continues to grow due to the abundance of food.
