Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"White perch is a fish that is native to Atlantic coastal regions and is invasive to the Great Lakes. It feeds on native species and is thought to be the cause of the decline of the Great Lakes walleye fish populations. What was most likely its mode of introduction?  A. Produce brought from the eastern states  B. Trapped in a ship's ballast or a water tank  C. Trapped in a cargo crate carrying nonperishable items  D. Luggage brought in an overseas flight"

Answer:

B. Trapped in a ship's ballast or a water tank

Explanation:

The way that fish like the White Perch can move from its habitat to an area where it becomes an invasive species is usually through the vessel's reactor or in a water tank. since the traffic of these ships is common in the region.

Although this fish is not introduced into other areas "directly" by the action of man, it is important that the ship's crew be attentive to the possible transport of these fish, since its presence in other regions causes problems for local fish.
