Question

What is the probable impact of the profuse growth of hydrilla on the lakes ecosystem

Answer 1

Explanation:

Scientists have found out that Hydrllia can be used to inhibit the growth of planktonic algae. The probable impact of the profuse growth of hydrilla on the lakes ecosystem is that they can control and diffuse the growth of algae in lakes. There is an optimal range of the biomass of Hydrillia which is calculated by researchers as around 12 g/ltr and under this, the inhibition is maximum

Answer 2

The probable impact of the profuse growth of hydrilla on the lakes ecosystem:

• A serious ecological threat is possessed by hydrilla.
• It is able to grow in variety of conditions which allows it in out-competing native plants.
• To fish population, infestation of hydrilla can be harmful.
• Oxygen depletion can be caused by large infestation. This can cause fish killing.
• Hydrilla is one of the worst aquatic invasive plants because native plants get displaced by it and sunlight gets blocked.
