This question has two parts.
Scientists have proposed two solutions to limit the mosquito fish population.

Solution 1: Use trapping or netting to remove larger mosquito fish. This would target females.
Solution 2: Use genetic engineering to produce mosquito fish with mature males and females that are the same size.

The Plague Minnow

Part B: Explain why people may want to keep some mosquito fish in an ecosystem rather than removing them all.

The Plague Minnow

Select the three ways in which successful reproduction through bearing live young benefits the mosquito fish population.

Phytoplankton perform photosynthesis in an aquatic ecosystem. The model represents this process.

How are carbon (C) atoms used in the process of photosynthesis in phytoplankton?

Write the number of each factor in the chart to identify the biotic and abiotic factors that affect mosquito fish in a pond.

Which three genetic variations of traits in a population of mosquito fish would most likely increase a mosquito fish’s probability of surviving and reproducing?

Part A: Which solution would better control the mosquito fish population?

Part B: Explain why people may want to keep some mosquito fish in an ecosystem rather than removing them all.
