Asian Carp: Destroying the Great Lakes

Since Asian catfish destroys the local ecosystem, it should prevent entering the Great Lakes. As they are eating all the plankton necessary for local fish survival, they are a negative contribution to the lake, which in turn causes great hunger for all the fish in that area. Catfish in Asia is dangerous for rowers as it may jump out of the water and collide with fishermen. They quickly occupy the area, do not have predators, come from large groups and breed quickly so they can never leave.

The four Asian carp, big fish, squid, black bora, and glass coy are a threat to the Great Lakes fishing industry. Risk assessment of the recently peer reviewed large fish, salmon and grass suggests that the Great Lakes are subject to major risks from these three species. The main threat to Asian catfish is the competition of food resources with other fish and the ability of these intruders to outweigh the local fish. The risk of black cockroaches is not evaluated. Like other intruders, the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission thinks that preventing the introduction and establishment of Asian catfish is the only effective way to maintain valuable Great Lakes fisheries.

They are known as Asian catfish who migrated downstream of the Mississippi River in the 1970s. Now they are threatening to knock the doors of the Great Lakes and destroy one of America's most precious waters, unless the unstable Great Lakes countries try together to eliminate them. The White House held "Asia Salmon Summit" on Monday and formulated a defense plan. Jennifer Narbonn, director of invasive species and voyage of NGO Great Lakes United, says:

It is still uncertain whether the Asian squid entered the Great Lakes. The Mississippi River system and the Great Lakes are connected to the Illinois River from Lake Michigan only through artificially created Chicago health and canal connections. The engineer's Army Corps of Engineers have electrical barriers to the canal to prevent squids from penetrating the Lake Michigan, but this may not be enough - although not discovered yet living fish Last month, a group of scientists found Asian salmon DNA on Lake Michigan.
