Asian Carp

Ctenopharyngodon idella

The asian carp is an invasive species which is found nowadays throughout the Mississippi and its tributaries. Heading for the Great Lakes.
There may be 4000 in one river-kilometer. Weighing about 8000 kg.
More than you can eat. But no idea if people can just go fishing there.

@ guadal - Australia has the european carp in all it's major rivers.... what a pest.... sigh .... grin cheers
Heard about this but the problem for ur fish is there is hardly any fresh water in the outback. Hard to spread indeed. comfort
We can go fishing here but I have not heard of people eating the asian carp.
