"Just saying Asian Carp. We think of flying fish. And we think of that. But certainly, there's a concern about what they could do to the fishery and the habitat in our area," said Kari Hagenow, Door County Invasive Species Team Coordinator.
The Asian Carp have not yet made it to Lake Michigan. But scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey are studying what might happen, if the fish did. The two-year project looked at concentrations of green algae and blue-green algae, favorite food sources for the carp. Biologists say a narrow band of algae, about a mile wide, stretches around the Lake Michigan shoreline. |
