Since there is a move by fisheries department to re-introduce grass
carp into Borapet pond in Thailand to control undesirable "weed" and
keep lotus in good shape, do you NANFA people know about grass carp's
impact on plants and fishes that use plants as living habitat,
breeding ground or other use in areas with submerged and emersed
macrophytes in the US? Are minnows effected by grass carp?
