The "spiny water flea", '' Bythotrephes Cederstroemi '', is causing serious concerns in the Lakes Of Canada . The problem is that it feeds on Zooplankton and can actually eliminate zooplankton species. As zooplankton is the backbone of aquatic food chains, this tiny crustacean presents a serious risk to the ecosystem. The eggs survive even after being dried out or eaten by fish.1 REFERENCES |
