A new report in the Journal of Great Lakes Research confirms the finding of a new invasive species, this time an Asian tapeworm, in fish caught in the Great Lakes.
 

An outbreak of tapeworms in Lake Huron walleye has Michigan officials urging people to avoid eating sushi made with freshwater fish caught in the Great Lakes region.

The warning came as a Canadian researcher reported the first documented case of Asian fish tapeworms in Great Lakes fish.

The article also reports that the tapeworm has been found in fish caught in inland lakes as well. Tapeworms can be killed if the fish is properly cleaned and killed. The Michigan Messenger has previously reported on the problem of invasive species in the Great Lakes.
