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.

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.

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.
