Default The Truth About the Common Carp

JMC wrote:

As any real fisherman knows, Common Carp and Grass Carp are two

totally different species. One is destructive, the other is not.


real fishermen know the truth,, not the propaganda


In fact, Grass Carp are not actually carp at all. Grass Carp is

simply a common name for the fish known as "White Amur."

White Amur are the species of fish that really can devestate

vegetation because they are strict vegetarians. They get stocked into
lakes and ponds to control rampant grass and other aquatic plants, but
are often overstocked and clean the lakes out.

When people hear about "carp" destroying the lake, they usually don't

know the difference between the species. So they assume that true,
common carp, are just as destructive, when in fact they are not.


I know the difference,, my DNR knows the difference,, evidently you don't


The fish many anglers target are Common Carp. They are not strict

vegetarians, they do not damage ecosystems unless they are *severely*
overpopulated.



HELLO!!!!!!!! are you there ? that's the problem with the common carp,
they OVERPOPULATE "every" body of water, if their numbers are not
controlled, by killing every one of them caught.


They are great sportfish.



BULL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The are an imported """""""""TRASH""""""""" fish, and should be wiped
from all US waters.

Why don't you do a Google on "carp" "damage", and see what the "real"
experts say about them
