Bad News, Another Bad Thing That Has Hit The Great Lakes

Are these the same little critters that collect on your down rigger cables after a day out fishing?? Because if so then they've been around for a while! My first witness of them collecting on the cables was over 10yrs ago fishing with a buddy......either way this is not a good things at all!!
That's spiny water fleas.

Do you mean White Perch? because the guy at the MNR office in dover said the only fish they have any indication that eat them are the White Perch, nothing else.

They also said they have tried to catch them with no success, but he didn't seem to concerned about the Shrimp. He said their big concern is the Asian Carp.
 
I'd think those spring loaded cylinders the MNR uses to sample water at depths would catch some shrimp if dropped into a cloud. Need a few lateral thinkers at our Department of Lands and Forests.
