BS+Carp+Harmful+Effects

The bighead and silver carp are traveling up river to the great lakes. These invasive species are traveling all around North America by lake and river. These species are also doubling especially in the Missouri and Illinois rivers. This animal is doubling because the females can produce 500 eggs at a time and a million a lifetime. When it finds food it messes with the ecosystem because they are filter feeders. Filter feeders suck all of the fish and everything else out of the water. This fish is almost uncatchable and that is why some scientist are thinking that it is going to become a dominate species in the Great Lakes. Floods could also allow these fish to enter the Great Lakes
