A freshwater lake has declining native fish diversity because an invasive predatory fish was introduced and now eats juveniles of many native species. Managers propose one of the following: (1) targeted removal of the invasive fish using nets during spawning season, repeated yearly; (2) doing nothing and relying on the ecosystem to "balance out"; (3) stocking more native fish without removing the invasive predator; (4) draining the entire lake once to kill all fish. Which option is the most biologically sound strategy to preserve native biodiversity while minimizing unnecessary harm?
