Please Help ASAP. Lionfish are a predatory fish that are commonly kept in home aquaria. However, when people are no longer able

to care for these fish, they often release them into the ocean. This introduces a non-native species into an area where it should not be. Explain how a lionfish population could become quickly established in a new habitat, and how additional predation and competition from lionfish may negatively affect the biodiversity of that habitat.

Since lionfish introduced to the ocean are not native they have very few predators, so they may eat the fish that were previously at the top of the food chain. If that were to happen then these organisms will multiply too quickly and that would lead to an imbalanced ecosystem. Lionfishes are a huge treat for ocean and if left unchecked they can cause the destruction of the reefs and native fish stocks.

What is the role of ATP in cross bridge cycling
maria [59]

Answer:

ATP is responsible for cocking (pulling back) the myosin head, ready for another cycle. When it binds to the myosin head, it causes the cross bridge between actin and myosin to detach. ATP then provides the energy to pull the myosin back, by hydrolysing to ADP + Pi.

If someone adds millions of small fish to a lake , how would the number of big fish change?
Pepsi [2]
Well, if the big fish are predators, then more food for them and their population would increase greatly. If the big fish and small fish have the same type of food, then that means that the big fish, hypothetically, would have millions of new contenders for their food source. That means that it's very likely that many of those big fish would die out.

Salmon hatcheries are commonly found near rivers along the West Coast of the United States because of decline in wild salmon pop
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Salmon populations in the United States is declining due to the following factors:  

1. Over-fishing and human activities have put a major influence on the population of salmon.  

2. Due to industrialization, urban growth, unplanned farming, deforestation, and pollution would have imparted strains on the stocks of salmon. Apart from this chemical contamination from the industrial run-off and agricultural activities are also declining populations of salmon.  

3. Genetically modified fish from hatcheries usually escape and interbreed with wild fish, thus, changing the genetic features of the populations.  

4. Construction of hydropower dams is also a major cause of the salmon population declining.
