--Prof. Young
An invasive species is a species that is not natural present in an environment, a very well known example of invasive species is the asian stinkbug. The issue is that there are no natural predators for these species so their population growth is exponential. The problem with invasive species in US waterways is that their lack of predators causes their population to explode and it also litters the water with chemicals that are not naturally there. I believe that a solution could be electrofishing and removal of the species from US waterways. It is an ethical way to remove the fish without harming the environment or polluting the water.
