What's so great about Asian carp? 🐟mild-flavored & flaky 🐟caught in the Midwest 🐟more savory than tilapia 🐟cleaner tasting than catfish 🐟firmer than cod It needs a name as appealing as its taste so more people will eat it, help restore waterways & protect the Great Lakes.
As we move into #boating season, don’t forget that organisms can stick to your boat and need to be cleaned off before moving to the next body of water. 3 easy steps… ⬇️ 🧵(1/4)
This summer we'll be with @FoxValleyParks @STCParkDistrict and @ForestPreserve pulling rusty crayfish from local waterways & talking all about #invasivespecies during their annual Rusty Rodeo! Thanks to @CGLLiteracy for co-sponsoring this event! 📸@ERLarsonLab #NISAW
Recent research finds that red swamp crayfish can tolerate extreme cold, perhaps lending to its invasive success. For this and other #invasive crayfish lit, follow the Monthly Snap by our Invasive Crayfish Collaborative: groups.google.com/u/1/g/invasive… #NISAW doi.org/10.1016/j.limn…
