There was a tidbit about mesquito fish that I couldnt buy knowing how small the fry are and how they populate. Maybe there's another reason the nutria hurts them but I thought I'd ask you guys. Sounded "fishy" to me.
Hi Keith,
If they're saying that nutria are threatening the common mosquito fish
gambusia affinis, I don't think that's possible. It is possible that nutria drain small ponds and pools, and kill the fish. If water ever returns to the drained ponds, there will be no mosquito fish to control mosquitoes for a while.
Although we have lots of nutria in my parts, they haven't affected us much yet. However, the Chinese tallow tree and fire ants are horrendous pests. The giant salvia also sounds like something to cause genuine concern.
