I posted this on FB, but everyone should be aware of this. We have a terrible time here with Zebra mussels which were imported on freighters in the St. Lawrence,, and the Japanese carp I think that now live in Michigan(?) waterways. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2011/04/28/2011-04-28_fish_importer_busted_trying_to_smuggle_fishchomping_fishzilla_snakeheads_into_ne.html |

We had an article in our local paper this week about Zebra Mussles they were discovered in Lake cadillac. And probably in lake Michell as well. The lakes are connected by a channel. The DNR was trying to decide how to controll them. These 2 lakes are our livelihood in the summer months. We are big tourist town. Hopefully they will find a solution. L |

Laurie, KSS: I think mass harvetsing is the answer. They are, after all, edible. |

A few years back, we had a real invasion of "Frankenfish". In one pond/lake in MD (between Baltimore and DC), they found something like 6 adults and about 1000 young fish! On occassion, the fish were found on land(!), kind of wiggling around several feet/yards from the shore. Supposedly they can survive for at least several hours like this! Some kind of toxin was introduced to control them for awhile. Gerard |
