Abstract

The sex ratio of the lamprey, a fish that is both bottom and active in the middle of the food chain, varies according to the state of environmental resources. Over the long term, due to its population explosion, the lamprey has taken a significant toll on economic fish stocks and has become a species considered a disaster by humans. This study aimed to assess the specific adaptive strategies of the lamprey and its impact on the ecosystem. In this paper, a detailed assessment of the impacts on the ecosystem and its stability was carried out by constructing an accurate model. The results of the study revealed key indicators such as economic losses, resource utilization, and impact factors of the lamprey on other organisms, thus effectively evaluating the resource utilization capacity of the lamprey within its habitat. This paper provides insight into the complexity of sex ratios to accommodate varying resource availability. By analyzing the pros and cons of such adaptations, thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of the subtle ecological interactions in the ecosystems inhabited by the lamprey.
