“Top-down control” for adding piscivorous fish to control planktivorous fish is. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. Species management must identify the demographic stage and ecological process that most strongly limits population growth. Prevention, early detection, removal, habitat manipulation, and biological control act at different points in an invasion or recovery trajectory. The remaining alternatives—“Bottom-up control”, “Abiotic control”, “Symbiotic control”—refer to differen
