Mount Allison University’s chemistry, biology, and facilities management departments are collaborating to remove invasive goldfish from the Ladies’ College Park pond. In an online statement, MtA explained that the goldfish were originally introduced as unwanted pets and have since thrived due to their resilience. The university noted that invasive species like these can severely disrupt aquatic ecosystems, and their removal will help restore the pond’s natural balance. The goldfish will be relocated to the Harold Crabtree Aqualab, where researchers will study their biology to gain insights into human health.
