Asian Carp are a Real Threat to Lake Michigan
Jan 4th, 2010 | By Dave Reid | Category: Lake MichiganLake Michigan faces a wide range of threats, but the most pressing is the latest in a long line of invasive species, Asian Carp. The issue isn’t simply that these fish consume the food supply of salmon, trout, bass, and perch destroying the ecosystem in the process, but the havoc that these fish create is a danger to recreational users. These fish can grow up to 100 pounds and have a dangerous habit of jumping out of the water when disturbed by boats.
