Electric barrier eyed to halt goby spread near Chicago
Federal scientists plan an electric barrier across the bottom of the Chicago Sanitary and Shipping Canal to stop the fast-breeding round goby from moving from the Great Lakes toward the Mississippi basin. The canal links Lake Michigan to the Illinois River and drains into the Mississippi, and the barrier aims to prevent ecological disruption and contaminant transfer as gobies migrate through North America.
