Really interesting episode on goldfish with @Ladyfishbio just dropped! 🐟 fws.gov/fish-of-the-we…

How well do you really know your pet goldfish? It's time to learn about a fish so common that many of us don't give it much thought: fws.gov/fish-of-the-we…. A goldfish caught in Canada. 📷 Courtesy Christine Boston/Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada #AllTheFish #podcast

@r_quinla @Hamilton_CA Not that I am aware of. I know there was an attempt to eradicate them years ago using Rotenone but it was unsuccessful

@Ecologist_Rob Not at the moment unfortunately! Draining ponds in our experience dows not eradicate them. In Alberta and BC they are having success with rotenone but it can be quite costly and is never a first choice. DFO is doing an assessment this year on Goldfish

@Ladyfishbio We are having the same problems in the Lake Simcoe watershed. Any thoughts on ways to remove them from the ponds? We have tried seine nets, trap nets and electrofishing but these methods only capture a sample of the population. Looking for options other than draining ponds.

Witnessed a (weird) good pet trade interaction today. Don't know the details, but fish were being surrendered to a pet store. Yay for not dumping fish into the lake, harbour or stormwater ponds. #PetTrade #InvasionPathway

@Cat_Beazley_Art Hi, we euthanized them humanely before taking the pictures. I should have mentioned that. We kept the specimens for further study.

@Ladyfishbio The picture of them 'kissing' out of the water feels a bit odd. I entirely appreciate the need to remove them but a bit icky to find their suffering amusing.
