Aren't Asian Carp a horrible invasive species?

Pretty sure there are other species not native to here that cause problems in their environment, are a general nuisance and just make things worse.

Michelet says the carp will eat the vegetation that causes the algae and not the actual algae itself.
What property of the lake's vegetation causes algae blooms? Generally aquatic plants and algae compete for the same resources.

DWF should know better. Birds of prey will pick out the Asian carp and drop them in nearby areas. The fish will make their way down stream.

I’m pretty sure a grass carp is considered an Asian Carp. There are 4 types of Asian Carp in the US. Grass Carp, Bighead Carp, Black Carp, and Silver Carp (the ones that jump)
Technically they are all Asian species of carp, but "Asian carp" has become synonymous with silver and big head carp because they are the invasive species working their way up the MS River system and into the Great Lakes. Unlike the grass carp, those two species filter feed on plankton, which is a big problem for the native food chain for all kinds of reasons. Grass carp, even ones that aren't sterile triploids, need very specific spawning conditions and usually aren't able to reproduce well outside their native range. Big head and silver carp on the other hand are reproducing like crazy.

Then you have a bunch of dead fish. Seems like that would get rather smelly.

Our governor said one week before the election that they were going to renovate all of the lakes and surrounding areas. What happened to that plan?
He wouldn’t lie about something like this...right?

Vegetation dies, rots, releases nitrogen, which in high amounts causes an algae bloom. The carp won’t solve the problem, they’ll just even it out a little. The root cause is that the lakes were allowed to fill in and don’t have enough depth to stay oxygenated.

Correct. This is a thin band aid. They need to be drained, dredged, refilled, and stocked with eco system appropriate vegetation and wildlife.

It's supposed to happen starting next year. We need to revitalize the lakes. It's one of the most scenic areas of the city.

And would increase property value for residences and LSU.
