How to save an endangered fish? Eat their enemies, say N.S. conservation groups

Conservation groups in Nova Scotia are working to save the nearly extinct Atlantic whitefish by serving up the invasive species threatening it.

"One of the several threats facing the Atlantic whitefish is the introduction of aquatic invasive species," Katie McLean, the program manager for the Clean Annapolis River Project, told CBC Radio's Information Morning Halifax on Friday.

"In this case, it's smallmouth bass and chain pickerel."

Smallmouth bass and chain pickerel are invasive predators species that have been threatening the whitefish for years. Whitefish can now only be found in three lakes outside Bridgewater.
