Which of the following is NOT a type of aquatic pest management?

The classification of pest management strategies typically includes biological, mechanical, and chemical control methods. Biological control involves using natural predators or diseases to manage pest populations, while mechanical control involves physical removal or barriers to prevent pest establishment or spread. Chemical control employs pesticides or other chemical agents to eliminate pests.

Synthetic control is not a recognized category in aquatic pest management. While "synthetic" can refer to synthetic pesticides, the term does not align with standard pest management classifications. Therefore, identifying synthetic control as a type of aquatic pest management would be incorrect, making it the right answer for this question.
