Lurking beneath the water’s surface, a sinister invasion is unfolding. Disguised as harmless raspberry-like clusters, these egg clutches conceal a devastating threat – the apple snail. With a single female capable of laying up to 15,000 eggs annually, these invasive mollusks are rapidly spreading, devouring aquatic habitats and leaving no room for other life. Lacking natural predators, they seem unstoppable, potentially harboring toxins and parasites that even pose risks to human health. Authorities race to contain this environmental crisis, urging the destruction of both eggs and adult snails before it’s too late.

Not anticipating the disastrous impact authorities are now urged to destroy both the eggs and the adult snails found because in addition to causing environmental damage these mollusks can also pose a danger to humans by harboring toxins and parasites

There are two kinds of apple snail: Black apple snail and Yellow apple snail.
They maybe dangerous for ecosystem, but…
Black one is quite high demanded dish in SEA. Meanwhile the yellow one is also a nice dish. We SEA love to have it with ginger fish sauce.
You should try, too. Taste even better than pork. ;))
what happened to that guy making a million frogs?
Make some gourmet shit out of it. Shit is solved
So much politics
why don't just eat them instead of waste their life? they look good asf for many dishes here in Asia
They taste SOOOOOO good.
So grateful I can't find them everywhere
China does this to our countryside, our Vietnamese farms. You guys be ware 🙂 eco balance is hard to tip but also hard to reverse
Another invasive species from Asia. 🙄 add that to the murder hornets, emerald ash bore, and Asian carp. Globalism and its consequences have been an absolute disaster.
Why did you do it?
Yummyy
and noone tried eating that 😅
The snail is edible.
🤢🤢Nope. They got to go.
Because every snail has toxins and every snow has parasites like the raspberry snail but the French is figured out how to cook them and kill off the parasites and kill off the toxins so why can we not learn from the French and learn from the Romans that did that control the snow population by getting hunting parties and freaking eating them to death becoming the predator of the snail
What is droopulates?
So many invasive and dangerous species released to the wild by ignorant idiots.
Yeah and isn't that funny that they're here
It happens everywhere stop worrying plus ducks are really handy
It sounds like you americans may need to bring in some frenchmen to deal with this.
More crap they brought over. Typical
DO NOT USE YOUR BARE HANDS IF YOURE GOING TO DESTROY THEM
These snails can be eaten.

They don’t look like berries. They look to me like candy pink caviars.
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤒🤒🤒👃🏻🧠🫁☣️☣️
Thx Asia
The size they grew if they left it alone for a long time
Escargot
Typical Asian
Some says it's a species we have to protect as it's nearly to extinct. meanwhile,some says Apple snails increases their species so fast and it's harmful for human,it kills others snails, it' is abundantly found in jungle.so we have to crush it when we see their pinky eggs.
I'm confused what to do, what not to do.
These and goby will be the only food left when the asains take over the world
Yeah but there are native species of apple snails in the US too… so make sure you don’t just blindly destroy snail eggs. You need to learn the difference in their appearance first
Give they them to italians
they did not come from asia…they came from south america. europeans brought them to asia…
Why not let them play their in nature and let natural prediator grow that's how nature grows or evolve. If it's not poisonous to human
Fact: Invasive is when a specie is introduced into unknown territories and fucks up the ecosystem
Though Native is when they're in origin lands and can't really be killed
