How invasive fish are threatening several Arkansas industries
SUMMARY: Invasive carp species are wreaking havoc in rivers across the U.S., including Arkansas, leading experts to believe it may be too late to eradicate them. These Asian carp have proliferated, consuming plankton vital for native fish and posing physical dangers due to their jumping behavior. Weighing up to 30 pounds, they threaten local ecosystems and industries such as recreation and commercial fishing. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is actively working to address the issue by employing staff to remove these carp and incentivizing local fishermen to catch them. Over 500,000 pounds have been removed, but these invasive fish are likely here to stay.
An invasive species is terrorizing rivers across the country, including Arkansas, and experts say it may be too late to stop them.
