The invasion of sliver carp and bighead carp collectively known as Asian carp has been an ongoing problem since the mid-1990s. These Asian carp escaped from confinement when they were brought to the United States (Irons et al. 2007). They were brought here for aquaculture or also known as aquafarming (Ruebush 2012). They eventually reached the Upper Mississippi River System or UMRS (Irons et al. 2007). The Asian carp are causing many problems such as negative impacts on native communities for example

The common carp is considered a nuisance fish‚ but it doesn’t seem to be doing too much harm to the lakes and rivers it lives in. The newest carp invaders‚ seem to be causing trouble in the Mississippi River and surrounding waters. Introduced to the U.S. in the 1970’s to control weed and parasite growth in aquatic farms‚ common carp eventually managed to get into the Mississippi River and

The common practice of composite culture includes 6 species of carps (3 indigenous and 3 exotic fishes) viz. Catla‚ Rohu‚ Mrigal‚ Silver carp‚ Grass carp and Common carp. Generally‚ the species ratio is 30-40 % surface feeder; 15-20% column feeder‚ 40-50% bottom feeder and 5-15% macro vegetation feeder depending upon the depth and productivity status of the pond

Aquaculture is a rather recent activity in Pakistan and is still in its infancy; nevertheless there is immense potential for development of the sector. Despite its vast fresh‚ brackish and marine water resources only carp culture is practiced in inland waters and only on a limited scale‚ carp are cultured in earthen ponds‚ using mostly extensive farming practices with very little inputs. In Pakistan‚ the fish fauna is rich but only seven warm water species and two cold water species are cultivated on

Among other provisions‚ the CARPER bill mandates that private agricultural lands – the type that the Arroyos and the Cojuangcos own – can only be distributed if the original CARP managed to distribute 90 percent of its target. But CARP‚ despite the two decades it had‚ only distributed less than half of it. It’s an impossible provision that only underscores what progressive farmers have been saying all along – that CARPER is bogus. MANILA – It seemed incongruous‚ the sight of farmers marching toward

Currently a student for the University of Phoenix taking a course in environmental science when I came across Glimmerville and its concerns with Grass Carp. Sparksville’s aquatic ecosystem is also having issues with balancing the ecosystem. This letter is to bring some light and maybe provided some solutions to any issues Glimmerville may be facing. Grass Carp is an herbivorous fresh water fish and was introduced originally from England. These fishes as we all know are famous for feeding on aquatic plants
