The food web below represents the organisms that make up a freshwater ecosystem.

Suppose humans accidentally introduce a nonnative species of carnivorous bird to the region. If these birds feed exclusively on

large fish, which group or groups of organisms will be negatively impacted by this change?

insects

large fish

carnivorous mammals

ducks

aquatic plants

snails

cranes

small fish

(multiple choice)

Carnivorous mammals will be adversely affected by the introduction of carnivorous bird.

Explanation:

Carnivorous mammals will be affected because these carnivorous mammals feed on the large fishes and due to high feeding of carnivorous bird, these large fish decrease in population so food is not sufficient for the carnivorous mammals and they will die because of hunger and whole ecosystem will be disturbed.
