mike rousseau Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just so we are clear... Grass carp and Asian carp ARE different.... There was a grass carp caught on the st Lawrence a few years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I don't think they are as bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Grass carp eat plankton and algae like asian carp, but dont jump in schools and kill boaters. They really wouldn't be all that bad to have around.. but its never good to introduce a new species to an environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
