Topic: Invasive species

Overview April 24, 2014

Invasive species

Invasive species, also known as exotics, are plants, animals, insects, and aquatic species introduced into non-native habitats. Without natural predators or threats, these introduced species then multiply.

Often,invasive species travel to non-native areas by ship, either in ballast water released into harbors or attached to the sides of boats. From there, introduced species can then spread and significantly alter ecosystems and the natural food chain as they go. Another  example of non-native species introduction is the dumping of aquarium fish into waterways.

Invasive species also put water conveyance systems at risk. Water pumps and other infrastructure can potentially shut down due to large numbers of invasive species.

News release: Fisherfolk! It is time once again to go kill all the Eel River pikeminnow you can find, and maybe win a prize

The Eel River Pikeminnow Fishing Derby is back again, after over 500 fish were caught in the 2024 derby. The derby is put on by a collaboration of groups working to restore native fishes in the Eel River. From now through August 31st, anyone with a fishing license (or if under 16 years of age, no license is necessary) can go and catch pikeminnow on the Eel for a chance to win up to $500, with $2,500 in cash prizes! There is no entry fee. Data from your catches can help managers aid in the conservation of our native fishes. Pikeminnow were introduced to the Eel River via Pillsbury Reservoir in the late 1970’s. Since then, they have spread to all the forks of the Eel and are remarkably prolific. … The waters open to fishing for the derby are: the South Fork Eel River downstream of the Humboldt County line to the confluence with the mainstem, the mainstem Eel from Dos Rios to the mouth of the Van Duzen, and the Van Duzen from Grizzly Creek to the mouth of the Van Duzen.

Can Calif. stop the spread of a new invader in its water supplies?

One of the state’s best investigators was on the hunt for golden mussels — a dangerous new invader in California’s waters, with a reputation for destruction.  Wearing a collar and a tongue-lolling grin, Allee, a Belgian Malinois, sniffed along the glittering hull of a bass boat at an inspection station in Butte County. … The dog was searching for any hint of the thimble-sized mussels hidden in the nooks and crannies of boats headed to Lake Oroville, the state’s second-largest reservoir, or two smaller reservoirs nearby. … State water managers made the alarming discovery last October that golden mussels, which are native to China and Southeast Asia, had invaded the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta —  the core of California’s massive water delivery systems. … Now the mussels are here to stay. They cannot be eradicated. Water suppliers bracing for the onslaught have instead turned their efforts to shoring up pipes, pumps and treatment plants against the infestation.

Zebra mussel larvae spreading fast in Colorado River and nearby lakes on Western Slope

The Colorado River is now officially “positive” for invasive zebra mussels in the latest failure of containment for the voracious species, after three new samples came up with larvae July 3, from between Glenwood Springs and Silt. The main stem Colorado River discoveries piled on top of a confirmed “large number” of adult zebra mussels in a private body of water in western Eagle County, and two more positive larvae tests, at Highline Lake and Mack Mesa Lake, both near the Utah border, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said Wednesday. Sampling was redoubled throughout June after tests found a single zebra mussel larvae, or veliger, in the Colorado River from a June 9 collection. It’s the second year in a row veligers are being discovered in the West’s key river channel through Colorado, and now CPW officials are also dealing with a full-blown adult zebra mussel invasion in the privately owned Eagle County water.

Can you help the Eel River—and win cash doing it? Join the Pikeminnow Derby!

Fishing fans, here’s your chance to cast a line for a good cause—and maybe reel in some prize money while you’re at it. The Eel River Pikeminnow Fishing Derby is now underway, running from July 1 through August 31, and organizers are inviting anglers of all ages to join in. The idea? Catch as many non-native Sacramento pikeminnow as you can from the Eel River system and submit your catch for a chance to win part of $2,500 in cash prizes. … So why target Sacramento pikeminnow? Although they’re native to parts of California, pikeminnow were introduced into the Eel River in the 1970s, where they now pose a serious threat to native fish. As voracious predators, pikeminnow eat native salmonids and lamprey—both already under pressure from habitat loss, drought, and climate change. Reducing pikeminnow numbers can help protect these struggling native populations.

Golden mussel presents widespread threat to major California reservoir

The invasive two-inch wide golden mussel showed up near the Port of Stockton last fall. Since then, it’s spread south, extending to other waterways in the Delta and some in the San Joaquin Valley. Now, eyes are looking north to Lake Oroville, where the mussels could pose a large threat if they’re introduced. The reservoir is the second largest in California. … The mussels also pose a significant environmental threat. Eric See is with the Department of Water Resources. He said Lake Oroville feeds water into the Feather River Fish Hatchery through small diameter piping. It raises steelhead trout and chinook salmon. Chinook populations are threatened, and the state is currently trying to bring them back. If that pipe gets blocked, it cuts off water to the fish. … The mussels could also create large algae blooms that can kill fish and filter water, increasing aquatic weed growth. That makes it harder for fish in the water to navigate and find food.

Officials destroy breeding ground for invasive fish in Colorado River

An invasion of smallmouth bass from the Great Lakes region is spreading to new areas of the Colorado River in Arizona. The bass have already thwarted efforts to save threatened native fish in the upper river basin, and wildlife officials are fighting to keep the same from happening below Lake Powell, even if it requires cranes, excavators and maybe one day, a giant metal curtain. Federal officials say they took a major step in fighting the bass invasion below the Glen Canyon Dam in June. The National Park Service and Bureau of Reclamation have cleared out a warm backwater in the river where bass and other invasive species used to spawn, eliminating a critical resource for the predatory fish that could wipe out one of the last holdouts for some of the Colorado River’s threatened and endangered fish. Every bass that spawned in the slough became a threat to native fish, experts say. Smallmouth bass eat native fish eggs and young.

Pilot program planned to screen boats at New Bullards Bar Reservoir

The first discovery of golden mussels in North America at Rough and Ready Island near Stockton in San Joaquin County has water managers throughout California on the alert, including the Yuba Water Agency, which manages New Bullards Bar Reservoir. On Tuesday, the Yuba Water Agency announced that it will launch a new watercraft screening pilot program later this summer at New Bullards Bar Reservoir in Yuba County. The pilot program aims to prevent the spread of the golden mussel, a highly invasive species found in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta last fall that could pose  a significant ecological and economic threat to the Yuba River watershed. … Thus far, all the sightings of golden mussel have been concentrated in the delta, although five additional sightings have been reported in the San Joaquin Valley.

Before enjoying Ruth Lake this summer, be sure to clean, drain and dry all gear, boats and trailers to prevent the spread of the invasive golden mussel. The golden mussel, native to East and Southeast Asia, was first documented in California in 2024. Like quagga and zebra mussels, the golden mussel is capable of rapidly spreading, wreaking ecological health and threatening water infrastructure and water quality. Thomas Jabusch of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Michiko Mares of the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District join the program to golden mussels, their threat, and what you can do to stop the spread of this invasive species.

Lake Tahoe’s biggest threat spotted: golden mussels

Golden mussels are an invasive aquatic species that disrupt ecosystems, filter away nutrients and damage shorelines – and they were recently spotted on a boat trying to enter Lake Tahoe. … This season, boating in California’s Folsom Lake State Recreation Area requires a mandatory 30-day quarantine or decontamination, while other water bodies like Shasta Lake do not require any pre-launch inspection. No matter the protocol, the spread of the golden mussel has raised alarm among scientists and advocates, and its spotting in the Tahoe basin is no small scare. … In the past, some marinas shut down completely after the discovery of a new invasive species – this happened in Lake Mead after the 2007 introduction of zebra mussels. Because Tahoe is so intertwined with outdoor recreation, though, enhanced enforcements need to be thoughtfully crafted.

By removing invasive bullfrogs, scientists help Yosemite’s native turtles recover

… In new research published in the journal Biological Conservation, (UC Davis PhD candidate Sidney) Woodruff and her colleagues propose a possible — though intensive — countermeasure: a near-total eradication of the bullfrog from habitats that it has invaded. The result was the striking recovery of the Northwestern pond turtle, California’s only native freshwater pond turtle species, at a couple of remote bodies of water within Yosemite National Park. … Woodruff and her colleagues conducted a combination of night surveys to remove the adults and day surveys to go after bullfrog egg masses. Across two sites, she estimates they removed some 16,000 bullfrogs, amounting to a near-complete eradication. And after several years of removal, “we came across our first couple of small pond turtle hatchlings and juveniles swimming out in the environment,” says Woodruff.

Estuary

Suisun Marsh, part of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary, is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh on the West Coast of North America.Estuaries are places where fresh and salt water mix, usually at the point where a river enters the ocean. They are the meeting point between riverine environments and the sea, with a combination of tides, waves, salinity, fresh water flow and sediment. The constant churning means there are elevated levels of nutrients, making estuaries highly productive natural habitats.
