Sea lamprey in the aquatic Michigan food web is considered to be an invasive species. The sea lamprey will invade the ecosystem and will become competitors for food to the native predators. With more predators, natural preys will have a harder time for reproduction. The natural prey population will most likely decrease significantly, which could lead to their extinction.
