Ever see a carp suck eggs off the bottom of the river, root up vegetation, destroy banks, increase erosion...
Seems like many people are not understanding the gravity of this situation. I wonder if the local fish and game groups along the Mississippi thought asian carp where fun to laugh at back when they first got out?

the big red is my home river I am deeply concerned, I have fished the ebro in spain and have seen first hand the damage introduced species can inflict on a system. total devastation of the natural species. the nile perch in africa eradicated many natural species. the list is long and the solutions few.
