giant salvinia

Giant salvinia has been a big problem at Lake Bistineau. Pretty soon, a solution will be introduced to the lake...salvinia-eating weevils.

State Wildlife and Fisheries continues the battle against giant salvinia at Lake Bistineau.

It could be a break-through in the ongoing war against Giant Salvinia. A scientist at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas has developed something called "endocides" -- a shortened form of saying Endogenous Biocides.

The Red River Waterway Commission has approved a cooperative endeavor agreement with Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, to research and test the university's recently developed endocide method to control and eradicate the spread of giant salvinia.

Congressman John Fleming and Senator Mary Landrieu say the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is giving a $100-thousand grant to the Caddo Lake Institute.
