Lenmcharristar 9,167 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 i was thinking hes afraid of drowning out at sea lol....can they survive for long in fresh water?yes mate and once they feast on freshwater fish they bring friends to dinner too, wiped out parts of the Lagan and the quoile in downpatrick in no time they took them back to sea but they soon returned ended up getting a lead injection. A big danger to fresh water systems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
