Asian Carp Ms. Croak

Scientific Classification SCIENTIFIC NAME: Hypophthalmichthys nobilis COMMON NAME: Asian Carp, noble fish, speckled amur, or lake fish. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Genus: Hypophthalmichthys Species: H. molitrix

Where Can They Be Found? The Asian Carp are native to China. Catfish farmers in the U.S. imported Asian Carp decades ago to eat up the algae in their ponds; the fish slowly escaped into the wild and have been making their way up the Mississippi River. Currently this fish has expanded its range to include the United States. Asian Carp are found throughout much of the Mississippi River basin and is reproducing in this area also. Asian Carp have also been reported in every large river system in Indiana up to a dam that blocks upstream movement.

Effects on People Asian Carp can pose a direct threat to boaters. When startled, the fish launch themselves out of the water, turning into 40-pound projectiles that could easily smash into a fisherman’s or a skier’s face! Fishermen in the Great Lakes will lose their livelihood if the Asian Carp come in and destroy the other fish that live there. Tourism, so also money and other jobs in the state of Michigan will be affected.
