Another exotic zooplankton species has entered the Great Lakes.
On Monday, Aug. 14, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed that one specimen of Brachionus leydigii, a non-native invertebrate rotifer common in Europe, Asia and Australia, had been detected in samples collected last spring in Lake Erie.
The announcement comes less than a year after the EPA confirmed a different species of exotic zooplankton, Thermocyclops crassus, in Lake Erie water samples.
