In a farm pond location, a landowner decided to introduce bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) because she liked to fish and preferred to eat the bluegill species. The species of fish already living in the pond were sunfish (Lepomis humilis). After introduction of the bluegill, which is very similar to sunfish in habitat and food preferences, the landowner discovered that the sunfish population was diminishing over time. After several years, the sunfish disappeared entirely. This is an example of:

Competitive exclusion in ecology

The competitive exclusion principle is also referred to as Gause's Law states that if two species are ina competition of the same reosurce it is likely that they wi not coexist or there will be no balance of they do coexist.

One will rule over the other which will result to the other species in that competition getting extinct of the system is supposedly non evolving or if the inferior species doesn't move to another habitat.
