Aquatic plants provide important habitat to many species of fish, however, their proliferation often requires some form of management. Grass carp were introduced into the U.S. in 1963, primarily as a control agent for aquatic weeds. During the past 30 years, the use of grass carp for aquatic plant management has become controversial but the relatively low cost has made this an attractive management tool to many user groups including fisheries managers. The book addresses the variables that resource managers need to consider before deciding to use grass carp, and provides suggestions for using the fish after deciding to do so. This book includes stocking rates, mortality, feeding preference, history and biology in the U.S., recapture techniques, program management considerations, and extensive literature citations. This book is intended for water resource managers and others concerned with aquatic weed control, fisheries biologists, lake managers, weed scientists, agricultural irrigation managers, water treatment engineer, anglers, home owners associations, and golf course superintendents.
