to me this sound much like a problem of over farming.
over targeting a migrating species or food of a migrating species in other regeons including out in the open ocean can remove an animal that would normaly cultivate natural habitats such as marches.
there is a reason it is called an eco system. hundreds if not thousands of species depend directly or indirectly on the existing of other species.
even environment changes can be devistating to natural regeons, especialy brackash areas in the event of global worming or cooling. global worming can raise ocean levels which can cause higher salt content in an area or heavyer rains can wash out salt concentration due to continued or prolonged fresh water over flows.
then there is the dreded chemical contamination problem from house hold and industrial waist being dumped in to our waterways. chemicals have a tendancy to concentrate in low flow area and can inturn for the lack of a better term "BLEACH" out ares devoiding it of life except for those animals that can adapt to the new environment.
in any case these earthen rashes as much the same with human rashes are usualy a signal that something has gone arye and drastic measures are needed to enoculate the problem. in some cases grafting of new life in an area that is capeable of survival in the newly generated environment.
food of thought, if you were to remove something as anoying as the misqueto in an area can cause drastic problems in a local eco system. for example removing the misqueto entiraly from a small pond can cause starvation in a number of sepcies all the way from the shrimp and minnows that feed upon the larva stage of the misqueto to the larger fish that feed upon the shrimp and minnows wich will drive away misqueto eating animails such as frogs birds, the lack of larger fish in the pond will drive away birds and mamals like kingfishers wolves bears who feed upon them.
with this being said one can see the problem is much larger than origanaly reported.
I would be interested in hearing the end of their study and what their recomendations to remidy the problem will be...
