Venice Battles an Invasive Sea Walnut Threatening Lagoon and Fisheries

Venice’s lagoon is being invaded by Mnemiopsis leidyi, the warty comb jelly known as the sea walnut, originally from the western Atlantic and now spreading through the Adriatic likely via ballast water and warmer waters linked to climate change. Scientists warn the invasive jellyfish are proliferating, clogging nets and preying on fish eggs, larvae and plankton, which harms the lagoon ecosystem and threatens the region’s multi‑billion‑euro fishing industry as conditions become increasingly favorable for its spread.

"Rare Fishing Opportunity in Kansas During Solar Eclipse"

Kansas anglers have a rare opportunity to fish in the shade of a solar eclipse on April 8, as the state will experience an unnatural darkness due to the celestial event. Wildlife behavior is expected to change during the eclipse, potentially making fish more active and easier to catch. Fisheries Division Director Bryan Sowards suggests that nocturnal fish species like walleye, saugeye, and channel catfish may come out in force during the eclipse, while bass, known for favoring low light conditions, might also be more abundant. Anglers are advised to adjust their habits and consider using boat lights during the event, and to take advantage of the white bass spawning season for additional fishing opportunities.
