Perch invade Island Lake

I love the CBC title to this story, "Lake contaminated by perch", so I choose my invasion title based on it. Doesn't really matter now about a trout fishery in the lake as the mercury level of fish in the lake are of concern. According to the story, the lake has not been stocked with trout in five years due to mercury concerns.

A P.E.I. lake, previously a popular trout fishing spot, is now swimming with white perch.

Provincial wildlife officials don't know how the perch got into O'Keefe Lake, but say they may have been introduced there by someone.
