Excessive growth of algae, duckweed, and elodea can lead to several ecological problems in aquatic environments. These plants can block sunlight from reaching other aquatic life, disrupting photosynthesis and harming fish and other organisms. Additionally, their rapid growth can deplete oxygen levels in the water, especially when they die and decompose, leading to hypoxic conditions that can suffocate aquatic species. This overgrowth can also result in imbalances in nutrient cycles, promoting further algal blooms and negatively affecting water quality.

Do mullet eat duckweed?

Yes, mullet are known to eat duckweed as part of their diet. They are primarily herbivorous and often forage on various aquatic plants, including algae and small floating vegetation like duckweed. This helps them obtain essential nutrients in their natural habitat. However, their diet can vary depending on the specific species and available food sources in their environment.


Do sharks eat duckweed?

The answer would be yes and no. Generally there are many different animals that do eat duckweed, ducks, carp, etc. However, Duckweed, (most notably native to California) is more often found in fresh water in ponds or lakes. There are also three main types of Duckweed, Lemna, Wolffia, and Spirodela. Each of course being slightly different than the other. Duckweed was often noted as being a good source of calcium, but the calcium make-up is sometimes unusable, especially by humans, mostly depending on the environment in which it is grown. Water content changes the content of the Duckweed. It is often said that it is better to eat that which eats the duckweed. So for as far as sharks go, they do not specifically eat duckweed (this includes the algae and shrimp eaters), however they would certainly benefit from it if it were injested.

Suppose there were singled-celed protozoans in the test tube with Elodea when you the white light experiment. Could you still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis?

Yes, you could still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis by measuring the change in dissolved oxygen in the water over time. The presence of single-celled protozoans would not significantly affect the ability to measure the rate of oxygen production by the Elodea.


Where do mosquito fish live?

Mosquito fish live mainly in ponds or swampy areas. They are small fish, so be on the lookout. They live in places where there is algae and such weed, sometimes elodea.
