lahave river invasive species project
Researching the level of impact invasive fish species have on the LaHave River Atlantic Salmon population
Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) and chain pickerel (Esox niger) are species of fish which are non-native to Nova Scotia. Over the past decade both of these non-native species have become established throughout a large portion of the LaHave River watershed. This illegal introduction has exposed native fish species to two highly predatory species as well as increased levels of competition for food and habitat.
