The spiny water flea was discovered in Lake Winnipesaukee in September, marking the first time the aquatic invasive species has ever been detected in the Granite State, officials announced Friday.

State biologists from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services documented the presence of the spiny water flea in the deepest part of Lake Winnipesaukee in the Broads in Gilford, New Hampshire on Sept. 13. Further sampling confirmed the microscopic animal is also in the Alton and Wolfeboro areas of the lake. The infestation is believed to be recent, according to a statement from NHDES.
