Bighead Carp and Silver Carp Brought over to use in polyculture

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

Bigheads and Silvers are BIG! https://www.nps.gov/miss/learn/nature/ascarpover.htm http://thelakenews.com/wpcontent/uploads/2015/05/giant-asian-silver-carp.jpg

Are they good sportfish?

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

Are they good to eat?

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

Biology of Silver Carp

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

Silver Carp Growth Total Length (mm) 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 l t = 912 (1 e -0.8849 (t (0.6630)) ) n = 173 2 4 6 8 10 Age (yrs)

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

Age 0 Silver Carp http://illinois.edu/lb/ilist/518/2/skinid=10420

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

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

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!
