I used to go to Lake Michigan a good bit as a kid and always remembered the water being really green. Then I left for the army and moved around a lot before ending up back in my hometown and was blown away by how clear Lake Michigan is now

The study of water bodies on earth deserves at least as much attention as study of the outer space.

Very nice summary of some of the issues and excellent video footage of the feeding behaviors of round gobies and predator fish.

Just an FYI... Goby are good to eat. Nothing wrong with them. No fish smell and very little bones. Better than bluegill. Just descale them, gut them, skewer them on flower and salt and pan fry them. Perfect!

Except that they eat almost exclusively zebra and quagga mussles, which filter all of the toxins and heavy metals from the water. If the water is really clean maybe, but otherwise they are chock full of chemicals

It is interesting how there seems to be a tenancy toward a balance in nature. An overabundance of mussels gets offset by another species that eats them, when in turn fattens the native species.

Very interesting, With all of our concern it is nature that adjusts itself.

Be interesting to see if mussel populations improve Sturgeon populations as well. Studies to date show their stomach contents containing a good percentage of these newer invaders.

How big can a goby get ??

So what should fisherman do with the gobies? Leave them out for the birds to have or release them?

Introduced species are not always "invasive" and as this video shows, can have a positive impact over time.

If there was a way to raise small mouth bad exclusively on goby's and release them to the lake to pass their knowledge to other fish

If you like hearing the positive truth about the big lie of " invasive species " please read The New Wild by Fred Pearce. You will learn from EVERY paragraph with no filler!
@kronkwithagun66958 ай бұрын
I mean it's not all roses. The smallmouth that are eating the gobies are also having issues reproducing as the gobies eat their eggs, and perch populations are dropping due to the competition.

That new species tend to come into balance over time doesn’t mean the system is better off overall, or that you don’t lose anything important along the way.

The less we react to these invaders the better off the great lakes will be.
