What is one of the main goals of aquatic pest control?

One of the main goals of aquatic pest control is to ensure that the balance of ecosystems is maintained. Aquatic ecosystems are complex networks of organisms that interact with one another and their environment. When invasive species or pest organisms disrupt these interactions, it can lead to negative consequences such as loss of native species, alterations in water chemistry, and changes in habitat quality.

Effective aquatic pest control aims to manage problematic species in a way that supports the overall health and stability of the ecosystem. This involves reducing the populations of invasive species that threaten native biodiversity while allowing non-invasive species to thrive. By maintaining ecosystem balance, aquatic pest control helps preserve the natural functions of the environment, such as nutrient cycling, water purification, and habitat structure, ultimately benefiting both wildlife and human communities that rely on healthy aquatic systems.
