Biologists use new tools to battle northern pike
A N C H O R A G E , A laska
(AP) - Biologists are trying
new techniques to combat the
spread o f northern pike, in
vasive fish that are wiping out
rainbow trout, salm on and
other species in Alaska lakes.
In some hard-hit lakes, bi
ologists have used an organic
com pound that deprives fish
o f oxygen to eradicate pike.
T hey're also exploring the
best uses for a tool similar to
a high-pressure water gun and
an o th er device th a t w orks
like a low -voltage electric

fence.
N orthern pike prefer shal
low, vegetated waters where
they can hide and am bush
pray. They’re native to some
parts o f the state, but they’ve
been introduced to waterways
in south-central Alaska since
the 1950s. In the area’s shal
low waters, native water Spe
cies can’t dive deep to escape
and hav en ’t evolved o th er
defenses against the pike.
T h e fish h av e p o in te d
snouts with teeth, and they
have a capacity to devour a
large am ount o f prey, K en
Marsh, a spokesman for the
Alaska D epartm ent o f Fish
and Game, said.
“T hey will literally, and
have literally, in scores o f
lakes in the valley, eat every
rainbow trout, every salmon
in sight,” M arsh said. “A nd
th ey ’ve actually eradicated
rain b o w tro u t fro m m any
lakes where they used to be
native and abundant.”
N orthern pike also prey on
water fowl, especially chicks,
and amphibians.
