from the boat. Bighead and silver carp (commonly referred to as Asian carp) are non-native fish invading and causing harm to lakes and rivers in the Mississippi.
Description:Another Asian transplant, the grass carp, can grow to 5-feet 1. The invading carp soon established native populations in the Mississippi River. Some of the Asian carp landed in the boat and a few hit the hapless rowers. No one was hurt, though a fishy smell lingered in the hull for some time, according to CNN. In one survey of recreational fishers and boaters in the Illinois River, about three-quarters reported seeing or being hit by a jumping Asian carp, according to research presented in at the Northeastern Recreation Research Symposium. These foreign creatures outcompete native fishes for food and habitat, and reproduce quickly, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Asian carp tend to feed at the surface of the water, where they are more easily disturbed by the sight and sound of a passing boat, the BBC reported.
