Bythotrephes

Just an average invasive zooplankton gal hanging out in the Great Lakes. Travel in my heart. Daphnia in my mouth. PontoCaspian will always be home. ✈️: 🐟🌎⛴

I celebrated St. Patty’s day early, what of it?

I wish they got a photo of my good side.

🎬For #NationalInvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek (2/28-3/4), we’re debuting an animated video series about #GreatLakes #InvasiveSpecies, ft. invasive carp, sea lamprey, mussels, ballast water invaders, + more, and how regional partners work together to stop them. Stay tuned! #NISAW🎬

My born on date will have to change.

I am timeless, like my mother/clone told me.
It's difficult to stop me, when I may have already been here for a century.

In case you were interested in catching us, without a zooplankton net. Cast your fishing line and you'll likely catch more sexually mature individuals. Keep those lines clean from lake to lake.

I’m recommending @LakeSuperior smelt eat no more than 1 serving/month of us

[Kelly House @Kelly_M_House]

Michigan today joined Wisc. in issuing a fish consumption advisory for Lake Superior smelt: Eat no more than 1 serving/month due to PFAS contamination.

My past coverage of the findings, and how much we have to learn about PFAS in fish & wildlife:

@IAGLR @michigantech @NatlParkService But their counter will cost them at least two mana .

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

Spread the word, stop the spread... of all of us invasive species.

Know your enemy this summer #stopinvasives

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

@musseldogs Ask me to leave, nicely, with a plate of Bosmina

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

I’m not bad, I’m just as hungry as a caterpillar. #cleandraindry #stopinvasives

[Mussel Dogs @musseldogs]

Invasives are bad!! Here is a great example.

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

It’s #GreatLakesDay . I cover all of you. Remember to clean drain and dry to keep me from invading new inland lakes.

[Lake Michigan @LakeMichigan13]

Hey Humans this is a good moment to commit to a change in your life that supports #cleanwater & #ClimateAction and my long term health
Happy #GreatLakesDay

Need more fish diet experts out there to identify which species I should avoid 1. Cisco

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

@sday4494 So many future generations, ruined by this native species eating my sisters!

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

Don’t worry, me and my sisters won’t hang around the lake very long

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

We will not work for free either. All lab experiments will require daphnia.

@bobsterner @UmdLLO @timfolger @LLOBlueHeron @UMDSwenson @NatGeo Well behaved women rarely make history

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

@bobsterner @UmdLLO @timfolger @LLOBlueHeron @UMDSwenson @NatGeo Ferocious, that’s a new one. I’ll take it!

[Bythotrephes @SpinyWaterFlea]

@healthylakes Thanks for the bad press...
