The Asian Carp have become a huge problem for the Alton Pool area on the Mississippi River. Not only are they multiplying faster than expected, but they are creating a danger to boaters. These carp, also know as the “flying fish”, are very aggressive and seem to become angry at the sight or sound of a boat motor. They are actually jumping at, over and inside of boats. Boaters are being injured and boats are getting damaged. For some reason, they seem to be more attracted to the pontoon boats.
Types of Asian Carp
There are actually four different types of Asian Carp that have invaded the Mississippi River: common, grass, bighead, and silver carp. The common carp were brought to the United States from Europe in 1831 and distributed around the upper Mississippi River. The grass carp came from eastern Asia in 1963 to control submersed aquatic vegetation in aquaculture ponds, but weren’t found in the Mississippi River until around 1971 in the Illinois area. The bighead and silver carp came to the United States in 1973 from China, to improve the water in some of the aquaculture ponds in Arkansas. They were first noticed in the Mississippi River in 1983.
