Guangzhou using invasive species against mosquito-borne fever
Southern Chinese authorities' introduction of an invasive fish species
to combat a surge in dengue fever has sparked fears that the practice
will break the environmental balance.
The water bureau in Guangzhou Municipality, China's third-largest city, has reacted to the mosquito-borne disease by adding mosquitofish to "controllable static waters." While the fish are named for their diet of mosquito larvae, they are also known for harming indigenous species worldwide.
