A day on the river with fish literally jumping into your boat sounds like a dream for most anglers. Unless those fish are Asian carp. Bighead, black, grass, and silver carp are invasive fish species that can out-compete native species for food and other resources. Here biologists are removing carp and refining techniques to help prevent future spread. More at http://www.asiancarp.us/ | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Asian carp are a highly invasive species that will out-compete other fish for food and space, hurting native aquatic animal populations. They don't have a true stomach which means they feed continuously! Work on prevention, control, and building awareness of Asian carp is key. https://bit.ly/2AxYMWa Video: Doug Canfield, Ryan Hagerty/USFWS | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
