Environmentalists raise alarm about invasive fish in Hudson River, move to protect Lake Champlain – VTDigger

U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., issued a joint statement to VTDigger Friday afternoon, urging immediate action to mitigate the spread of the species. 

“The round goby is a clear and present threat to Lake Champlain’s fisheries and ecosystem. Not only is it a voracious predator, but the round goby also carries botulism, which can spread easily to the area’s water birds,” the statement said.
