Does anyone know anything about the monstrous carp that seem to be spawning
around UBNA right now?



There are some that are easily a meter in length. Waterfowl seem to move out
of their way, and I have heard carp can wreak some havoc on aquatic systems
(e.g., churning up mud, uprooting aquatic vegetation, etc. although in some
cases they are introduced to control non-native vegetation). This is the
first year I've noticed these fish, which are abundant right now, thrashing
around in the shallows.



I'm assuming they are non-native, and wondering if Fish and Wildlife is
aware of what seems to be a proliferation of this species?
