BOULDER JUNCTION - Trout Lake was clear of spiny water fleas a little more than a month ago. Now the lake is teeming with the invaders. The organisms are known for hitching rides across oceans in cargo ships, and that's exactly how they arrived.
"Spiny water fleas actually originate from the Caspian Sea region, which for all intents and purposes is on the other side of the world," explained
Aquatic Invasive Species Specialist Carol Warden.
