Great news - Lac Pelletier was one of the lakes monitored in the southwest - no Adult Zebra or Quagga mussels were found.

The Swift Current Creek Watershed Stewards Completes Aquatic Invasive Species Monitoring for 2021

The Swift Current Creek Watershed Stewards (SCCWS) has completed its 2021 Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) monitoring. The SCCWS monitored 15 adult mussel substrate samplers at lakes and reservoirs in southwest Saskatchewan. We are happy to report that no Adult Zebra or Quagga mussels were found. The SCCWS collected water samples to be tested for the veligers (larval stage) of the mussels and this year we also collected samples to be tested for environmental DNA (eDNA) which detects the presence of mussel DNA in the water. The detection of DNA provides an early warning for the presence of mussels in a waterbody. The SCCWS has not received the results of our sampling but will let stakeholders know the results once we receive them. Thank you to the sponsors of our 2021 Aquatic Invasive Species monitoring, the Saskatchewan Fish and Wildlife Development Fund, the Invasive Species Centre, and the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds.

While most of our efforts in Aquatic Invasive Species monitoring have been focused on zebra mussels, there are many other aquatic invasive species that watershed residents should be aware of. Prussian Carp has been caught in our watershed and if you catch one, dispose of it humanely and report it to the Invasive Species TIP line. An Aquatic Invasive Species that watershed residents may not be familiar with but should be on the look out for is a plant called Flowering Rush. Flowering Rush is a large plant with pink flowers that look like an umbrella. Like many other invasive plants, it was introduced to our area as an ornamental. Flowering Rush is a perennial that outcompetes native aquatic plants, reducing the biodiversity of riparian areas as the stands of Flowering Rush do not provide adequate food and shelter for wildlife. These stands hinder recreation activities as they interfere with boat propellers and make swimming and other activities impossible. Flowering rush can reproduce from seeds, and plant fragments as any piece of the plant can grow into a new plant. Therefore it is very important to clean your boat, trailer and other equipment that have been in the water so that seeds and plant materials are not transported from one waterbody to the next.

At this time Flowering Rush is in the South Saskatchewan River between the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and the Saskatchewan Landing. Our friends at the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards have worked diligently to remove this invasive species in that area before the infestation gets too large. However, if the infestation does get too large or moves to a new area, they will not be able to keep up to remove the infestation, which would exponentially increase the spread of this species along the South Saskatchewan River and possibly into the Swift Current Creek Watershed.

If you see any of these plants or other invasive species in our watershed, please let the SCCWS know, and we will notify the appropriate authorities to work to get rid of them. If you have any questions about the SCCWS’s zebra mussel monitoring, invasive species projects or any of our work please contact us at kevin.sccws@gmail.com, call 306-770-4607 or visit our website www.sccws.com or our Facebook page. ...
