If you’ve traveled along or across Kentucky water, you’ve likely encountered at least one species of carp. It’s possible you may have even been struck by one while on a boat or kayak.

The fish are not native to this region and continue to be of great concern to wildlife officials across the nation.

Background

Jeffrey Herod is the Aquatic Nuisance Species Coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR). He told WKU Public Radio that the fish have been plaguing area waterways for decades after being brought into the area to control algae in wastewater treatment facilities.
