Invasive Species – A Threat to Lakes

Invasive Species – A Threat to Lakes

notice


Prussian Carp, a type of Goldfish, are a threat to water bodies in Alberta – including Gull Lake. Though they have apparently not been found in this lake to date, it may only be a matter of time.

Alberta Environment & Parks is telling the public, “Don’t Let It Loose”…

Never release aquarium or domestic pond water, plants, dead or live animals into waterbodies. Common aquarium and pond plants and animals can become invasive when released in the wild, increasing competition for limited resources while potentially spreading disease to native species.
