AB - INTRODUCTIONNon‐native species in invaded aquatic habitats are a global challenge with severe ecological consequences (Vilà et al., 2011). Invasive species increasingly affect aquatic life, ecosystem functioning and productivity, ecological and hydrological processes, and human livelihoods (Fleming & Dibble, 2015). Invasive aquatic plants have caused high levels of local species extinction and outcompete and exclude most native macrophytes and algae for space and resources (Emery‐Butcher et al., 2020).Invasion by free‐floating plants is found to be a serious threat to freshwater ecosystems and generates considerable public concern (Wang et al., 2013, 2016). The large, dense mats formed by these species cover lakes and rivers, blocking waterways and interfering with the water transport of agricultural products, tourism activities, water power generation and irrigation of agricultural fields (Adebayo et al., 2011; Shanab et al., 2010; Thamaga & Dube, 2018). These dense mats monopolize light and absorb nutrients from the water column, minimizing the rate of photosynthesis by submerged plants and algae (Coetzee et al., 2011; Fileto‐Perez et al., 2015; Khanna et al., 2012; Mengistu et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2012). In addition, low oxygen conditions cause increasing organic detritus to decrease clarity, which inhibits macrophyte and algal growth (Thamaga & Dube, 2018;
