How can the public help prevent the spread of Asian carp?
• Don’t move live fish from one location to another. The states of Illinois and Wisconsin have laws prohibiting the transport of live Asian carp. • Never use wild-caught baitfish in waters other than where they came from. • Know the difference between juvenile Asian carp and Juvenile Gizzard Shad which look nearly identical. • Drain lake or river water from live wells and bilges before leaving any body of water.
