Default Public meeting set on problem of Asian carp in Ky.

GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. ? There's a growing problem with Asian carp in
Kentucky, and state officials are planning a meeting to talk about
ways to fight it.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says Asian carp
are a highly invasive species that can outcompete native fish species
for food.

The agency says two species of Asian carp have infiltrated larges
areas of the state from the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. They are the
bighead carp and the silver carp.

Fish and Wildlife says commercial fishermen and potential markets show
the greatest potential for getting rid of large quantities of Asian
carp in Kentucky and Barkley lakes and the tributaries inhabited by
the fish.

The public meeting will be at 7 p.m. CDT May 31 at Kentucky Dam
Village Convention Center in Gilbertsville.
