Question : 'Alien species invasion leads to extinction of Indigenous species' - Justify the statement by considering two plants as examples.

Answer»

Solution :Some alien species when INTRODUCED unintentionally. Become invasive and CAUSE harmful impact resulting in extinction of the indigenous species.
Example 1:- Nile perch, a LARGE predator fish when introduced in lake Victoria caused the extinction of CICHLID fish in the lake.
Example 2:- Introduction of African cat fish (Clarias gariepinus) for aquaculture purposes is posing a THREAT to the indigenous cat fishes of Indian rivers.
22373.

Question : Alien species are highly invasive and are a threat toindigenous species. Substantiate this statement With any three examples.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Some alien (exotic) species become invasive and cause maximum harmful IMPACT and the extinction of the indigenous species.
(ii) Nile perch a large predator FISH was introduced 1n lake Victoria (East Africa) caused the extinction of an ecologically unique species of cichlid fish in the lake.
(III) Invasive weed species like parthenium, LANTANA and EICCHORNIA caused environmental damage and pose threat to our native species.
(iv) Introduction of African catfish (clarias gariepinue) for aqua culture purposes is posing a threat to the indigenous cat fishes of Indian rivers.
22374.

Question : Alien species invasion leads to extinction of indigenous species' - Justify this statement by considering two animals as examples.

Answer»

Solution :Eg 1. : The Nile perch introduced into Lake Victoria in east Africa lead to the extinction of more than 200 species of cichlid fish in the lake.
Eg 2.: The invasive WEED species like carrot grass (Parthenium), WATER hyacinth (Eicchornia) and Lantana posed threat to our native species.
Eg 3. : The illegal introduction of African cat fish (Clariasgariepinus) posed threat to indigenous cat fishes in our rivers.
Detailed Answer:
New species entering the geographical region are known as ALIEN species. Introduction of alien species causes significant loss to the biological community. Some of the species are able to establish the area. Such successful exotic species eliminate the native species to the point of extinction. And so alter the habitat that many native species are no longer able to persist. For example- Introduction of Nile perch into Lake Victoria disturbed the ecosystem of lake by eliminating several native species of small cichlid fishes. When the toxic species of water hyacinth were introduced in India it CAUSED huge water pollution and occupied all the water bodies.
22375.

Question : "Alien species are highly invasive and are a threat to local species". Substantiate this with any two examples.

Answer»

Solution :a) The Nile perch introduced into Lake Victoria in east Africa LED eventually to the extinction of an ecologically unique assemblage of more than 200 species of cichlid fish in the lake.
b) The ENVIRONMENTAL damage caused and threat posed to our native species by invasive WEED species like carrot grass (parthenium), Lantana and wsater hyacinth (Eicchornia).
c) Illegal introduction of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus for AQUA culture purpose is posing a threat to the indigenous catfishes in our RIVERS.
