1 The Silver Menace: Invasive Asian Carp in the Midwest Timothy Spier, Michael Flinn, Neal Jackson, Jessica Morris, Allison Lebeda, and Brad Hartman Murray State University

2 Outline The Asian Carps Carp biology Status and Current Research

3 Introducing: The Asian Carps 4 species: Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella

4 What are they not? They are NOT Common Carp Cyprinus carpio

5 Where are they from?

6 Where are they from? Eastern China Vietnam Korea Eastern Russia

7 Bighead Carp and Silver Carp Brought over to use in polyculture

8 Bighead Carp and Silver Carp Brought over to use in polyculture Multiple species fish culture Bigheads and Silvers improve water quality and provide a secondary source of income Escaped from culture ponds in Arkansas in early 1970 s

9 Bigheads and Silvers are BIG!

10 Are they good sportfish?

11 Are they good sportfish? Nah. Some bowfishing, some snagging, but not much

12 Kentucky State Record 233 kg (106 lbs) but hooked accidentally

13 Are they good to eat?

14 Are they good to eat? Absolutely! Tasty flesh, high in Omega 3 s, low in contaminants But a little bony

15 Silver Carp are jumpers Dangerous to boaters, skiers, jet skis, etc. Illinoistimes.com

17 Biology of Silver Carp

18 Large Size, Fast Growth Become invulnerable to predation around age 1

19 Silver Carp Growth Total Length (mm) l t = 912 (1 e (t (0.6630)) ) n = Age (yrs)

20 Extremely Fecund Up to 1,000,000 eggs per female

21 Age 0 Silver Carp

22 Feed low on the food web Bigheads = zooplankton and phytoplankton Silvers = phytoplankton and zooplankton

23 How do they get so big when they eat stuff that is so small?

24 How do they get so big when they eat stuff that is so small? They eat a lot! Maybe 20% of their body weight per day!

28 Distribution Knocking on the door of the Great Lakes $7B fishing industry USGS Silver Carp Distribution as of October 2016

29 Kentucky Lake as Surrogate for Great Lakes

30 Kentucky Lake as Surrogate for Great Lakes Largest reservoir east of the Mississippi Important commercial and recreational fisheries Also recreational boating

31 Our Research at Murray State U. Population demographics of the KY Lake population Movement patterns of Silver Carp in KY Lake

32 Population Demographics

33 Silver Carp Growth Total Length (mm) l t = 912 (1 e (t (0.6630)) ) n = Age (yrs)
