Carp
Summary
This carp species is non-native and invasive within the Mississippi River Basin. Its continued range expansion threatens regional waterway sustainability via competition and predation on native species and by disrupting aquatic plant ecology.
Stock status: Species is non-native (invasive), therefore overfishing is not a concern.
Ecosytem impacts: Commercial fisheries and efforts to control the spread of invasive carp generally enhance Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management in the Mississippi River basin by supporting local ecology and native species.
Management: Effectiveness varies by state, with some state policies prohibiting the stocking of Asian carp, the establishment of carp Harvest Incentive Programs to bolster carp industry infrastructure regionally, and record-keeping/catch accounting requirements.
Bycatch: Fishing gear has the potential to interact with endangered or threatened sturgeons. At present, bycatch rates of endangered pallid sturgeon and threatened lake sturgeon are reportedly low in targeted carp fisheries.

Bycatch: Fishing gear has the potential to interact with endangered or threatened sturgeons. At present, bycatch rates of endangered pallid sturgeon and threatened lake sturgeon are reportedly low in targeted carp fisheries.

Summary
This carp species is non-native and invasive within the Mississippi River Basin. Its continued range expansion threatens regional waterway sustainability via competition and predation on native species and by disrupting aquatic plant ecology.
Stock status: Species is non-native (invasive), therefore overfishing is not a concern.
Ecosytem impacts: Commercial fisheries and efforts to control the spread of invasive carp generally enhance Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management in the Mississippi River basin by supporting local ecology and native species.
Management: Effectiveness varies by state, with some state policies prohibiting the stocking of Asian carp, the establishment of carp Harvest Incentive Programs to bolster carp industry infrastructure regionally, and record-keeping/catch accounting requirements.
Bycatch: Fishing gear has the potential to interact with endangered or threatened sturgeons. At present, bycatch rates of endangered pallid sturgeon and threatened lake sturgeon are reportedly low in targeted carp fisheries.
