Beware of the flying fish in the Wabash River… the Asian Carp! Most people living in Indiana have heard about the problems with Asian Carp. But what are Carp and what is the problem with them living here? Carp are a family of fish native to Europe and Asia. Common carp were introduced into the US over years ago and have become part of our water ecosystem. The most recent carp to be introduced in the US in the s are bighead carp, black carp, and silver carp.
Invasive Carp Design Challenge
Scaling down the Asian carp population
Over aquatic non-indigenous species NIS have been introduced into Great Lakes Basin waters to date, and new introductions are expected in the future. The so-called "Asian carps" e. While great effort has been expended to keep these species from entering the Great Lakes Basin via the Illinois River and its connection to the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, an additional pathway for introduction has recently been identified at Eagle Marsh near Fort Wayne, Indiana. Eagle Marsh may provide a corridor for transfer of these species between the Wabash and Maumee River basins during flood periods, and the direct connection of the Maumee River with Lake Erie would therefore provide a means for introduction of Asian carp to the Great Lakes Basin.

The following information was transcribed from an activity lesson plan. Check out our travelling trunks including an invasive carp-specific trunk available to borrow from the Paul H. Douglas Center for Envrionmental Education here. Bighead carp devour planktons, a diverse collection of tiny aquatic organisms.
They have since escaped captivity and have been spreading through the Mississippi River basin. In June , two black carp were captured in the Ohio River about 10 miles downstream from the Indiana state line. Figure 1: A range map of where black carp observations have been reported in the US. An interactive, detailed map of these observations is available from USGS at nas.
