Danish anglers are rushing to a western Denmark fjord to catch some of the up to 80,000 farmed rainbow trout that have been accidentally released, hoping to keep them from upsetting the area's ecological balance. But now authorities fear the farmed trout wreak havoc on the region and eat the eggs of other trout species. Knabe said Wednesday that the rip happened "at the worst time" because sea trout "are about to spawn and their eggs are 'yummy' for rainbow trout." "In some streams, they will start eating the eggs of other trout species, and maybe the other trout. That will be a disaster," he told TV2.
