Conservation Plan
- Reduce the application of pesticides across or near rivers or river banks
- Since they are indicator of a destructed habitat, reduction of bladderwort wont give warning of a suffering community/ecosystem
- If preferred to cultivate bladderworts for personal use, it can be used as protective material for young fish that are larger than the bladders of bladderworts.
Survival Challenge Vulnerabilities
- Don't use of fertilizer to grow bladderworts
- Vulnerable to water quality changes and chemicals that interfere with what they prey on(for Lesser Bladderworts)
- Too much fertilizer is also bad because it causes :
- mass production of the plant ;creates too much overgrowth
- blocking sunlight and oxygen for algae and other small creatures
Threats
Past Present, and Future
- It can also maintain the population of an invasive species of cane toad
- The cane toad is invasive because they secrete a poison that can kill a predator in minutes
- Purple Bladderworts are creating a mutualism with algae for nutrients instead of prey
- Used to be common in Pennsylvania, but now had has been reduced in number.
- Spraying of herbicides are harmful for them.
