Controlling and Preventing Exotic Species Program Goal Contain or reduce current populations of exotic species and prevent the introduction of new exotics into the Oneida Lake watershed Problem Identification There are several exotic species in Oneida Lake (e.g. zebra mussels, Eurasian water milfoil, water chestnut and purple loosestrife) that have caused significant impacts on the lake’s ecology. There are also many additional exotic species that pose a potential threat to the Oneida Lake watershed. Oneida Lake is vulnerable to exotic species from throughout the world and planners should expect ecological surprises in the future with additional human mediated exotic species introductions. Some of these species have already been identified in other New York waterbodies such as Lake Ontario, the Saint Lawrence Seaway, and Lake Champlain. Many exotic, aquatic plants and animals are purchased over the Internet for home water gardens and aquariums. When the homeowners release these organisms into the natural environment, they introduce the exotic species into a new area that can result in negative impacts on food web interactions. Currently, there are very few laws that prohibit the sale, transport or transplanting of most of these organisms. Therefore homeowners are strongly encouraged to select only native plants and animals for use in their water gardens and aquariums. Exotic bivalves, fish and invertebrates are transported to new areas via bait buckets, live wells, boating/fishing gear, water currents and by the shipping vector. These inadvertent introductions can be detrimental to the fisheries and recreational value of Oneida Lake, as well as to native species present in the lake. Priority Species of Concern: The establishment of the following non-indigenous species in Oneida Lake and its watershed would be detrimental to the native aquatic plants and animals. Through public education and outreach programs, every effort should be made to keep these invaders out of our watershed. Eurasian ruffe, Gymnocephalus cernuus Round goby, Neogobius melanostomus Fishhook water flea, Cercopagis pengoi Asian clam, Cobicula fluminea Hydrilla, Hydrilla verticillata sea lamprey (attached to a salmon) zebra mussel Eurasian water milfoil brown trout Chapter 3: Priority Areas page 55
