Spiny+Water+Fleas+Harmful+Effects

So as you can see the spiny water flea gets its name because of its back. Spiny Water Fleas have a hard and pointy back just like a porcupine. Because of its pointy back the little fish can't fit it in their mouth, so they can't eat it. Only a few of the bigger kinds of fish can. That's why there is so many of them around. In some lakes, spiny water fleas cause a decrease of some kinds of native zooplankton. Another thing they do is clog eyelets of fishing rods and prevent fish from being landed.
