Thai authorities enlist locals and ducks to battle invasive fish


Nakhon Si Thammarat (Thailand) (AFP) – Thailand has caught some 1,300 tons of blackchin tilapia as authorities battle to stamp out the destructive invasive fish species, enlisting locals and even ducks to help. In July, eradicating the fish, which is native to West Africa, was declared a national priority and a parliamentary investigation is underway to determine the cause of the outbreak.
