NUTRIA RIP UP BAYOUS IN ASSAULT
ON DUCK FOOD
C ITIZENS of Louisiana have sent up a distress signal.
They are alarmed at the increasing number of nutria,
a small exotic rodent that is gnawing away at migratory
. ...... .. .. , s duck food.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service
1 reports that the imported rodents are
k TB ! wrecking waterfowl habitat in its refuges
• W Jj i in Louisiana. This situation is becoming
^ serious and unless something is done to
* „ | protect the areas, waterfowl will suffer.
\ f Fortunately, Georgia is not now
faced with a nutria problem. Several
the creatures may be found in
Km'] " i south Georgia but their numbers have
Wmi /» ,x no t become alarming. We are lucky,
Pulton Loveii for ^ese mite sized fur-bearers could
play havoc with waterfowl habitat in our state.
Nutria were introduced into the U. S. from South
America nearly 20 years ago as a source of fur. Once they
were established, trappers and growers abandoned them
because the price of their furs was not enough to warrant
their trapping and growing. They were left in the wild to
propogate. Numerous clans have been spotted along the
Gulf Coast, particularly in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Rat-like in appearance, nutria are vegetarians and feed
exclusively on the same growth ducks and Canadian geese
find in marshes. Louisiana reports several cases of de
stroyed vegetation over large areas in their ducklands.
The Game and Fish Commission has worked toward
making Georgia a haven for ducks. Our Altamaha
Waterfowl Refuge, which takes in Butler and Champ-
ney Islands, has added tremendously to duck hunting.
It’s full value will add even more.
It would be a pity to see all our efforts go to waste and
waterfowl hunting crippled by anything as small as nutria.
It’s a possibility, but it won’t happen—if we continue to
keep them in check.

Piranhas Not Harmful—If They're
In Fishbowls
A reader of ours became alarmed recently when he dis
covered Piranhas, a vicious, flesh-eating fish, are available
to tropical fish collectors in Georgia.
Piranhas, is case you’ aren’t familiar with them, have
been known to attack human beings in parts of the tropics.
They feed exclusively on flesh and are dangerous in open
waters.
Florida recently passed a bill making the sale of the
fish to anyone except marine zoos illegal. Their fear
is that the fish might make its way into streams, repro
duce and become a hazard.
Georgia has laws prohibiting the sale of dangerous fish
as bait or their introduction into streams in lakes. We do
not, however, have power to interfere with the sale of
such fish when they are for hobby.
There is little danger of Piranhas becoming rampant
in Georgia if aquarium owners are careful what they
do with the finny creatines when they are ready to dis
card them.
It would be a good policy, though, for the sellers of the
fish to lecture buyers on the possibility of them becoming
hazardous if they are introduced into streams.
