FOCUS ON INVASIVE SPECIES This is an ongoing series of information articles talking about exotic aquatic plants and species that could be a threat to the Gull Chain of Lakes. NEW ZEALAND MUDSNAILS New Zealand mudsnails are tiny invasive snails that threaten the food webs of trout streams & other waters. Native to New Zealand, they were first found in Idaho’s Snake River in 1987. They quickly spread to other Western rivers, sometimes reaching densities over 500,000 per square meter. In the Great Lakes, mudsnails were first found in Lake Ontario in the early 1990s. In 2001, they were found in Lake Superior in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and in 2005 in the Duluth-Superior Harbor, likely spread by ballast water discharged from ships. Anglers pose a risk for spreading New Zealand mudsnails because they can be moved on waders and gear. They can close their shells allowing them to survive out of water for days. One snail can reproduce and start a new infestation. Eradicating infestations is nearly impossible. Your help in detecting and reporting new infestations is vital for preventing their spread. What you can do: Inspect and remove aquatic plants, animals and mud from waders, hip boots, and field gear before transporting. Drain lake or river water from livewell and bolge. Rinse waders, hip boots, and gear with hot water (120 o F ) OR Dry gear for five days before reuse.
