Hey Taku, I'm a fish biologist and I wanted to add some additional information to something you said at the beginning of the video. Despite being a native species, pikeminnow are still considered invasive in many regions of the American west. Pikeminnow became invasive largely due to the construction of hydroelectric dams, which generally tend to create warmer conditions with less current than natural systems. These environmental changes are favorable to pikeminnow, and disadvantageous to native salmonids that are the focus of a great deal of conservation efforts. For this reason, pikeminnow populations have increased in many systems throughout the American west. Another example of a native species that is considered invasive due to changing environmental pressures can be seen in western juniper, which has thrived largely due to the suppression of wildfire by humans. That being said, I encourage everybody to eat all of the pikeminnow they can stomach, but to be cautious not to accidentally kill the many non-problematic minnow species that look very similar to pikeminnow.

Since the introduction of dams have made the conditions less than ideal to the salmonids, does this mean the conservation effort is an uphill battle which might not be won without the removal of the dams or introduction of other technology which would reverse the effects caused by the dams?

Hi Taku, leaving fish by the river bank is actually not a waste. Besides scavengers feeding on them and completing the life cycle, fish decompose and bring much needed nitrogen to the soil. Fun fact, bears when they hunt and consume salmon, carry and leave large amounts of half eaten carcasses into the forest where they decompose supplying the soil with nitrogen and organic matter. Alternatively, you can bury fish into the soil of your yard where they can decompose and provide nutrients and skipping the need for factory produced fertilizers.

Thank you for saying that pikeminnow are actually NATIVE. It makes me sad that people waste them and I agree that they deserve respect. I think it’s also worth mentioning that they are particularly dangerous in slow moving water caused by dams. Here the salmon fry don’t develop the muscles they need to evade them and the pikeminnow gorge themselves. In reality salmon have evolved ways of dealing with pikeminnow and more serious threats come from invasive bass and sunfish. I personally don’t kill mine because I think they are great sport fish. Super fun to catch on topwater especially when they reach the 20-30 inch range.

Would you consider doing an episode on the invasive chain pickerel we have in Nova Scotia? We also have invasive yellow perch, and smallmouth bass. The reason I think pickerel would be a good idea for a video, is because so many people dislike to eat them, but I think you could maybe change some minds with the right recipe. I’ve eaten them before and found the taste to be bland, and the texture not my favourite. I figure a good recipe could maybe be fish cakes 🤔

In Washington State, there is a program designed to keep Pike Minnow populations in check, by paying people to fish for them on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. It is called the "Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Fishery Program". It is not intended to eliminate the Northern Pikeminnow, but to keep their numbers in check. One really determined (apparently) fisherman was paid about $61,000 last year. The fish have to be over 9 inches long to qualify, and for the first 25 fish, it pays $6 per fish. They have to be submitted on the day they are caught to specific locations where the fishers register before fishing.

One of the reasons why invasive species in USA were overpopulating because Americans are scared to try different food(they are choosy for what they are going to eat) they prefer only high quality foods rather trying low quality food, we can see here how they defend Salmon population against invasive species...

Here in north eastern parts of India, no fish can invade. No matter the quantity, the moment they arrive here, they will be caught, sold and eaten. Also, people here aren't picky when it comes to fish and that is why there is always a huge demand for fish irrespective of the species or how bony they are. If only Americans and Europeans could inculcate fish eating habit, irrespective of species, these invasive species will become extinct in no time. I remember seeing one video of some lake in America infested with carps. If somehow somebody could teleport that lake to any of the states of North east India, lets say for 10-15 days, all those carps would "magically" disappear.

Hardhead eat crusteacans and plants, but do not eat fish. They are mainly identified by the shape and size of the mouth. I would like to see you correct this.

Taku, I love this series and think you should continue it. However, focusing on a native species as part of an invasive series doesn’t make sense. There are many invasive, perfectly edible fish species on the west coast that you could do some episodes on. Some other biologists on here compare pikeminnow to other native species that have become “invasive.” This is an incorrect comparison, particularly since there are many other predatory invasive fish species that, many times, occupy the same waterways as pikeminnow. In general, pikeminnow have become vilified, while other predatory invasive fish get off the hook, literally.
