In a remote corner of Southcentral Alaska, state biologists carried out a dramatic restoration: they treated an entire lake with rotenone, a plant-derived piscicide, to wipe out an invasive population of northern pike. After the treatment, post-surveys confirmed the pike were gone.

🚨 Biologists scan Columbia River for invasive northern pike DNA to protect threatened salmon runs

Federal crews are testing water samples between hydropower dams on the Columbia River, searching for genetic traces of northern pike before the aggressive predator can threaten 13 protected salmon and steelhead populations. The illegally introduced fish could devastate juvenile salmon migrating to the Pacific Ocean, potentially undoing decades of conservation work. Recent tests show negative results, but scientists warn that river conditions can dilute DNA evidence, making ongoing surveillance critical to catch any invasion early.
