More than 50 invasive Asian carp were caught this week in the Mississippi River above Minnesota’s southernmost dam, causing biologists and state wardens to fear that the threshold they’ve long worried about may have finally been crossed: Asian carp may have begun to spawn in Minnesota.

A total of 39 silver carp and 11 grass carp were found in the nets of two commercial fishing boats over the weekend near La Crosse, Wis., according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Another silver carp was also caught 20 miles upstream.
