Invasive catfish poised to be "apex predators" after eating their way into Georgia rivers

Flathead catfish are invading another Georgia river, state officials warn, a predator that would threaten native fish including the prized redbreast sunfish.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said that systematic sampling in August found more than a dozen flathead catfish in a stretch of the Ogeechee River just upstream from Interstate 95.
Wildlife officials are urging anglers to catch as many flathead as they can and report them to the state Wildlife Resources Division, but not to release them back into the Ogeechee.

In West Virginia, a subsidy program for public employees was showing promising results, but then the state abruptly ended it, leaving many searching for new solutions.
