Michigan resident, zebra mussels, and gobys (both the round and tube nose) are a problem, but about the only good thing the zebra mussels have done is cleaning the water, that’s about the only good thing. Edit, there are also quite a few other invasive species here, 17 fish and 21 plants (that is aware of). Some of the fish you have mentioned already but we also have sea lampreys, Eurasian watermilfoil, wels catfish, Zander just to name a few
I can't stand how this channel is underrated. Great content, great quality, facts, creativity, beauty of nature. I wish you rapid development of this channel.
@@ethanz197 I live on lake saint Clair. I've fished and been to every great lake other than Ontario. In my opinion they're very cool and theres alot to put in a video
I do say a series of invasive insects should be a good one. But aside from that, you're doing well and don't stress too much so you can focus on making quality videos
Videos on invasives and their effects, environmentally and economically in particular ecosystems, like the Great Lakes or the Amazon, would be really cool !
A month ago, I was visiting friends in Maine. They live on the shore of a beautiful lake. It is very deep, clear, and cold. I was hoping to get some fishing in during my weekend visit. However, I was told there was nothing to fish. Years ago, the department of fish and game thought it would be a fantastic lake to stock lake trout. After all, they thought it would be great for tourism. Alas, it backfired because the introduced lake trout ate the local trout. Then, there was no food for the lake trout. Now, the lake is pretty, but almost lifeless.
In Spain the American Mink is a big problem, in Galicia, "animalist" people freed a lot of them from fur farms and now they outcompete the European Mink and prey almost everything in our rivers and swamps. I live in the Basque country "quite far" from Galicia and we have a lot of American Minks here too.
I'd love to see other invasive species such as mammals and insects, i think it'd be a good step forward for your channel and your content, so every video could be more unique! Keep this up!
here in Spain we have a problem with the Luisiana cray fish or also named red crayfish were my grandmother lives there is a hole pond full of Luisiana crayfishes
When evasive species are around long enough sometimes they become "situationally endemic". A good example is the European carp. Another one found around here is the Eurasian collered dove. I remember the boon of catching Kokanee salmon (land locked) in Lake Tahoe back in the early 60's. Then they introduced the Mysis shrimp for feed. The population and size of the Kokanee exploded so the fishing was crazy good until the two life cycles collided and the Mysis shrimp started to out compete the Kokanee on the larval level. Then things weren't so good. How about the stripped bass introduction in Lake Powell? .....the list goes on and on....
you sound English , surprised you don't know of the hybrids in your local ponds or rivers maybe, well heres a few I've caught over the years. roachxrudd, roachxbream, dacexchub, blue trout & the environmental agency allows for stocking of hybrid carp, barbel and are known to do this with a few other species in the uk to "help" with the declining populations... rather then the fixing the actual problems... but, thats not what this videos about lol still like the video :) didn't know about the sturgeonxpaddlefish :O
Yeah zebra muscles also really hurt to step on (like can straight up slice your foot if you step wrong) so much so that we have to wear water shoes in specific areas to protect our feet
awesome video mate, some more invasive species of fish are European perch, cichlids and the oriental weather loach, all of which are a big problem in Australia.
I thought that the rainbow trout used for stocking fishing lakes etc, were "triploid" trout and were therefore sterile and could not breed if they escaped the waters they were stocked into? I'm pretty sure that's the case here in the UK, or at least it is here in Scotland anyway. I can't see why it would be different anywhere else. As for the invasive trout of Australia and NZ....those people paid a lot of money to have Loch Leven Brown Trout stocked into their waters. Not so much an invasion, more a mass stocking.
I remember joking with a videogame friend from Alaska, that to get rid of pike, we need to import bullsharks, to get rid of sharks, we need to import chinese people, to get rid of the chinese shark fin soup industry, we import greenpeace activists, to get rid of greenpeace, import Lapplanders from nordic countries, and eventually, the loud Americans will naturally scare the quiet loving Lapplanders away and restore status quo. The circle of life is beautiful!
Fun fact about the sea lamprey; it’s actually native to Lake Erie, but because of the Erie Canal and other canals leading to other parts of the Great Lakes, it infected those lakes, and it wasn’t used to being in those lakes. So Lake Erie was fine, but the other lakes weren’t.
Here in Northern Sweden there are some places that have cutthroat trout, I've heard that they are a big problem because the brown trout populations in those places have been reduced because of competition from the cutthroat trout, I have even heard about cutthroat trout breeding with brown trout! I don't know if that is true but if they start spreading they could become a big problem.
So with the last two, the reason why they are declining is the massive amount of time, money, and energy that was spent to try and lower the numbers. The zebra mussel and sea lamprey totally messed up the Great Lakes ecosystems and led to the collapse of numerous fisheries. It's the reason why the government is willing to spend so much money trying to stop the Silver Carp from entering the Great Lakes. Also, like the video showed, if you live in Michigan at least, you will see numerous signs telling you to check your boat for mussels, your shoes for seeds, and threaten fines for moving firewood and live crayfish. We've witnessed to much destruction to not take it seriously.
Northern pike, in N America, will eat the fry of Muskie up until about 1 year old bc they hatch before them. After that, the Muskie keeps the pike in check usually, as they grow larger and will prey on medium sized pike as well as anything else. Thus the stocking effort w Muskie on non class A Muskie lakes (class A has enough natural reproduction to not need stocking).
We have Pike here on Ireland and overall they are a native species but there's some Loughs they've never inhabited. Here in Ireland pike can get over 5 foot long
A lot of zebra muscles were killed last year when 2 of 4 damns failed in my area in the Great lakes...... walking on the lake bed is sold dead zebra shells.
Wait whoa hoooold on now my guy. Bristol Bay is the number 1 supplier of America's salmon. The arctic produces black cod. And don't forget about our crab and halibut.
Burmese Python is an invasive species in South Florida and they are found in the Everglades. There are more invasive species in Florida, but the Burmese Python is a well known individual
You should make a video where you cover the invasive species in a certain area
thats a good idea, Florida springs to mind haha

thanks for the feedback :)
Yes, I would like to see further videos on invasive species of all types.
Humans
4:36 American Mink: I am not the villain in this story, I do what I do because there is no other choice
Your videos are literally the best animal comparison videos
Yes please make videos on other invasive mammals and reptiles in the world. I love this series!

Caged just for their fur? That’s a despicable act! Animal abuse is infuriating!
By the standards we consider as destructive and invasive, where does the human species fit in?
Invasive? Yes.
Destructive? For sure.

I definitely like to see other invasive species other than just aquatic I think that'd be great

We talked a lot about invasive species during our environmental science class this year. There's great information in this video series.
I love all the fish in the Esocidae family, I was unaware the NP was considered an invasive species. Great video!
Covering other invasive non-aquatic animals would be cool

Definitely would love you covering other invasive species
Loved the video and the non-aquatic invasive animal idea!!! Can't wait to see what's next!!!
Oh my god, that's why theres that meme! "They're trying to cancel the Northern Pike" lmao
I didn't see it,but an angler I know pulled up a carpet full of zebra mussels out of the Detroit River about 14 years ago
Your intro music is quite relaxing. Great melody 😃
Is it hard typing on a keyboard with paws? 😜
I’d love to see a lumpsucker or lumpfish in one of your videos. They’re pretty incredible little pieces of popcorn chicken
Hello i love your invasive fish species series!!!!
You should do a video on the breeding habits of some north American minnows, they are very interesting ie creek chubs, river chubs, Daces etc
you sound English , surprised you don't know of the hybrids in your local ponds or rivers maybe, well heres a few I've caught over the years. roachxrudd, roachxbream, dacexchub, blue trout & the environmental agency allows for stocking of hybrid carp, barbel and are known to do this with a few other species in the uk to "help" with the declining populations... rather then the fixing the actual problems... but, thats not what this videos about lol still like the video :) didn't know about the sturgeonxpaddlefish :O

awesome video mate, some more invasive species of fish are European perch, cichlids and the oriental weather loach, all of which are a big problem in Australia.
@@stevenhall8964 yeah they taste awesome and they grow massive
I would love more videos on different animals :)
Please do other invasive species besides fish, if you want. I'd love to see you talk about other creatures.

You can make any video and I will watch it! Keep up the good work
0:46 wow, that's quite a scenery. Anyone know what city that is?
There is a painful lack of awareness when it comes to invasive plants.
3:09/3:34 Good thing I subscribed to a UA-camr who actually keeps minks, and gets them from fur farms.
so he/she rescues them from fur farms?

Can you do one about nutria? They are a semi aquatic mammal.
Pike are so gangsta. They eat their own mates and their children. Proper hardcore.
I do like the ideas but I enjoy The fish a bit more in my opinion.

I like the idea of doing non-aquatic invasive species
Enjoying these but have I missed something as wondering how snakeheads are getting on
i had to rehome them a little while ago as i was moving but i do plan on keeping more in the future

Local lake by me muscles are ruining. They cleared the water and an invasive weed was able to grow choking out the rest of the lake.
Invsasive animals would’ve great in general! Love the vids.
I love the mustelidae family
There is this guy on UA-cam who uses minks to hunt rats and small rodents. It's pretty wild.
The Blue Catfish in the Chesapeake Bay is destroying the Blue Crab population.

You should make a list of invasive fish but from only 1 category...(E.G 5 invasive crabs or 5 invasive fresh water fish)
I love the intro song
Gives Bob Ross vibes
Can you go over all the pike species?
Cute puppy
im a great lakes angler in Michigan. it has messed up lake Michigan and the local paw paw lake that i live by
Yes yes please do another type of invasive animals
the lamprey is the mosquitoes of water.
I would like to see non aquatic invasive species too
thanks for the feedback :)
I'm a waterskier and Zebra muscles are the worst thing in the water. They are fucking razorblades on the bottom.
have you done an Invasive species in Florida?, because there are a lot of Invasive species in Florida like tegu and burmese python
Keep up the good work👍
