Habitat selection and movements of diploid and triploid grass carp in a large reservoir
Grass Carp, an herbivorous fish introduced in North America to control aquatic vegetation, has become an increasing ecological threat to aquatic ecosystems they invade. Grass Carp have the potential to cause declines and alterations in aquatic vegetation communities, which in turn can have negative …

An Examination of the Basis for Poor Growth Performance in the Hybrid Grass Carp
The hybrid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella x Hypopthalmichthys nobilis) was once thought of as a viable alternative to the grass carp for controlling aquatic macrophytes. However, the hybrid proved a disappointment due to its poor growth performance and consumption rate. Investigation of the …

The effect of turbulence on survival, dispersal, and swimming behavior of grass carp eggs and larvae
… to monitor and control the spread of invasive grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in North America. Grass carp are reproducing in tributaries to Lake Erie and control efforts targeting reproduction are greatly needed. Current strategies for their control and removal are costly and report mixed …

The Effect of Grass Carp Introduction on Aquatic Vegetation and Existing Fish Populations in Two Small Prairie Lakes
Within two years after triploid grass carp introduction in 2.3 hectare Prior Lake in South Dakota, aquatic vegetation coverage and height in the water column were significantly lower (P<0.005). During the same two year period, triploid grass carp did not significantly reduce aquatic vegetation …
