The zebra mussel is an invasive species that decrease the carrying capacity of native species by competing for limited food resources. Invasive species are harmful to the homeostasis of an ecosystem.
The carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size of a species sustained by specific environmental conditions.
The factors that affect the carrying capacity include the availability of both biotic (e.g., food, presence of invasive species, etc) and abiotic (e.g., water, habitat) resources.
For example, Zebra mussels, and Quagga mussels are invasive species that can decrease the carrying capacity of native mussels by taking away limited food and attaching themselves to the native mussels.
