| Lamprey were a huge problem up until some 50 years ago when scientists discovered their spawning grounds and began poisoning them wholesale - a practice that exists to this day. Now the problem is Zebra mussels.

My parents bought some "rukytas ungurys" at a Lithuanian deli back when I was a kid. They were all excited because it wasn't something that was readily available. I tried it and it was actually pretty good. "Rukytas" means "smoked". I had no idea that "ungurys" is the Lithuanian word for eel. If I had I doubt I would have eaten it. Haven't had it since....it wasn't *that* good....

Not to mention Lanternflies and those longhorn beetles. The downsides of unfettered trade and travel.
