China News Network, October 15- Scotland is famous for the legendary Loch Ness monster. Now, another "little monster" that lives in the water has "gained fame" in the country, and that is the crayfish.
After "invading" England, the crayfish have now moved north into Scotland and flooded parts of Scotland' waters. Scotland's Clyde Burn is a world-famous fishing destination, but now the river, famous for its trout, is being occupied by crayfish.
Angler Matt Mitchell has been fishing for about 40 years. Mitchell said the number of crayfish in the local rivers is unbelievable. "You can even cross the river with crayfish," Mitchell said, "it's impossible not to step on crayfish, there are so many of them." ”
According to the report, because crayfish have no natural enemies in the local area, there is no way to deal with the "crayfish plague". Although crayfish are delicious, the Scottish government does not encourage people to eat crayfish, in case the crayfish is raised after it is launched, leading to the further spread of this alien species.
At present, the Scottish authorities have authorized that anyone can kill crayfish in Scotland's rivers. Anglers say the quickest way to kill crayfish is to "stomp them to death."
