what types of fish are in lake simcoe
Lake Simcoe When a lake is healthy, cold-water fish such as lake trout, herring, and whitefish are abundant and active.[10] It is sometimes known as Canada's ice fishing capital.
Zebra mussel The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is a small freshwater mussel. This species was originally native to the lakes of southern Russia and Ukraine,[2] being first described in 1769 by the German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas in the Ural, Volga, and Dnieper rivers.[3] However, the zebra mussel has been accidentally introduced to numerous other areas, and has become an invasive species in many different countries worldwide. Since the 1980s, they have invaded the Great Lakes and the Hudson River. They are commonly found on the bottom of ships and eat the algae that is food for fish. Inspectors check ships for the mussels before they leave port. Scientists are trying to control the mussels.
