Everyone is worried about Asian carp entering the Great Lakes, but they aren't the only fish that anglers should be worried about getting into area.
According to the Great Lakes Echo, there are 39 "high-risk invasive species" and 10 of them could potentially cause a huge environmental impact in the Great Lakes. Among them are the snakehead, pictured here, which is already causing problems in the mid-Atlantic. Also the inland silverside, which could outcompete native fish for plankton, and two aquatic vegetation species, Cuban bulrush and marsh dewflower.
Hopefully those carp barriers keep these guys out too. –Brian McClintock
