It is not a native species here. They have been planted in small streams. It is taking over native species, such as trout. A few days ago there was news that it has been fished out with electricity. Hopefully the fish that were removed have been put to good use. The fish tastes really good.
It is a delicious food fish. That is why it has sometimes been planted in waterways. But when species that are not here are introduced, they usually become extinct in the environment. Now, the project is to eradicate Lupinus polyphyllus, the large-leaved lupine, giant hogweed (Heracleum persicum) and (Impatiens glandulifera) Himalayan balsam.
Hello Anne I love eating fish, especially freshly baked or freshly smoked. I try to eat as much of it as possible, although it's quite expensive in my area.
Interesting.
VastaaPoistaThanks!
PoistaIs it an exogenous species that creates its invasive status or because its predator has disappeared, or some other reason?

PoistaMerci Anne et bon appétit ! 😉
PoistaI hope they don't make too much damage!
VastaaPoistaIt is a fast fish to reproduce.
PoistaIt's good that you like the taste even though it is an invasive fish.

PoistaInvasive species can do a lot of harm.
VastaaPoistaTrue!
