| ‘Threat worse than pollution’: Dangerous fish found in the Hudson | |

The small, round fish with frog-like eyes doesn’t seem like much of a threat.
But environmentalists say the round goby fish, which has been spotted as far south as Poughkeepsie and north in the Erie Canal, is an invasive species that could do ecological and economic harm to the Hudson River |

New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation is endeavoring to have a comprehensive plan in place by May to block the invasive species from spreading in the Hudson River. Efforts are currently underway to prevent the round goby from entering Lake Champlain through the New York canal system.
But it’s an uphill battle. |
