An 18% decrease? People must be asleep since invasive species are everywhere. Even I must admit I never thought of Pike as being an invasive species as they are in California.

I suspect much of the decrease is due to Google tweaking itself. Given the tendency of web pages to linger long after abandonment, I would expect the number to continue to go up over time indefinitely, with a reduction in the rate of growth indicating a drop in interest. But what do I know? ;-)
