The invasive fish species, also known as the “suckermouth catfish,” is lurking along the riverbeds and banks of the San Marcos River and beyond.

Armored suckermouth catfish are dark brown and speckled with black spots, and they like to burrow into the dirt on the sides of the river, disrupting the habitat. But it remains to be seen just how many are there — and what can be done to stop them from completely wrecking their aquatic environment.
 

So researchers from Texas State University, Texas A&M University and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are teaming up to fight them, learn more about their habits and mannerisms, and come up with ways to control the slimy critters’ population in the delicate ecosystem.
