The city began receiving reports about goldfish in the pond last year, which raised concerns because goldfish have a high reproductive rate
Invasive goldfish in a Campbell River stormwater-collection pond are being removed in a two-week effort beginning Monday.
The Erickson Stormwater Pond, which collects rainwater that is screened before being released, is in a residential area off Erickson Road and is connected to the Willow Creek watershed. Female goldfish can release 50,000 eggs at a time up to three times a summer. The species competes for food and space with native species, and can carry parasites and diseases that affect other fish, including salmon.
