Troubling news no doubt, that said is there research on the impacts we may see? I found one link below and one take away from it is that while crucian carp flourish in some waters they do not do well in waters with abundant predators.

So what I am trying to see is what impacts they will have on the different types of water bodies we have. Will they hurt trout fisheries but be negligible on pike and walleye waters?
Please share links to any impact studies you come across.
I am not trying to down play potential impacts just trying to discuss really what we may see. I know several people that swear Blood Indian is producing bigger trout the last couple years. (Strictly second hand info)
Please do not cite studies on the asian carp-apples and oranges. How real is the issue vs fear mongering? Eg the snakehead issue or even wild boar in Alberta(that should stir pot)
Btw I believe the people responsible should be prosecuted.
