Week #6: Aquatic Biodiversity (2nd six weeks)

Scholars,

This week we are discussing aquatic diversity. One of the major impacts that can affect biodiversity of an aquatic ecosystem are Invasive Species. For this weeks post I want you to find a news article discussing an invasive species that has infected an area and post the link (url) to that article.

Happy Hunting

    Carp and Crayfish are both invasive species introduced to Lake Naivasha, but the way they interact with each other is another point of interest.

    Asian Clam Corbicula fluminea), is in Southern and eastern Asia and Africa. This invasive species was first discovered in 1938 in Washington State.The reason its invasive is because it reproduces in large colonies that can clog waterways and pipes.
