Mosquito fish seen as weapon against West Nile spread
In Alapaha Georgia Ken Holyoak sells Gambusia or mosquito fish to curb larvae as West Nile cases rise along the East Coast. He shipped about 5.5 million fish since New York’s outbreak and aims for millions more this year. The fish sell for around four cents each and are placed in puddles and ponds to reduce mosquitos while officials note potential ecological downsides.
