UM: Asian Carp

By

The Detroit Free Press reports on the threat of Asian carp to the Great Lakes, and whether the impact of the fish will be as serious as originally expected. The article quotes David Jude, a UM fish biologist who says the carp might find the Great Lakes inhospitable, because of the low supply of plankton: “The food supply in Lake Michigan is as low as it has been in 40 to 50 years.” [Source]
