Asian swamp eels in Silver Lake

Chris Smith and Eric Boehm of the Division of Fish & Wildlife walk Silver Lake in Gibbsboro stunning Asian swamp eels, an invading species, with an electrical fishing device so they can remove them to be destroyed. There's a concern the swamp eel, which has no known native predators, could harm or displace native species and eventually spread to other areas in the region.
