Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The approach of introducing natural zebra mussel predators into the Great Lakes is an example of natural enemies control, as it involves the use of natural predators to control the population of the invasive species. Cultural control involves changes in human behavior, genetic control involves manipulations of the genetic makeup of the species, and natural chemical control involves the use of chemicals naturally present in the environment to control the species. None of these approaches involve the use of natural predators.
