Does anyone know where i can catch suckers or creek chubs in creek or river anywhere around here?? was thinking about using them for bait. thanks!
VHS is just one of many parasites that can be moved this way, and it is just one state away from being here in NJ. another parasite that is already present in some NJ waterbodies is the red worm (Eustrongylides) which made its way here from the great lakes, and has infected humans. long story short... DON'T MOVE WILD CAUGHT BAIT!!How is VHS spread?
VHS can be spread from one waterbody to the next through a variety of means, not all of which are known at this time. One known method of spreading VHS is moving fish from one waterbody to another. This can be done by importation, stocking, or the use of bait fish.
