FISHERIES and OCEANS CANADA
On July 3, a single adult female Grass Carp was caught in the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario by a commercial fisher. The fish weighed 20.996 kg and measured 1.16 m in length and shows no signs of having spawned recently.

Our response crews and an Ontario Natural Resources and Forestry crew searched the Bay of Quinte for additional #GrassCarp. None were found. This is the 31st Grass Carp found since Canada’s Asian Carp program began in 2012. https://ow.ly/EY9w50Pej1F

Grass carp are #Invasive and pose a huge threat to the Great Lakes basin due to their ability to reproduce rapidly, outgrow and outcompete other fish for food and habitat. If you think you see a #GrassCarp or another invasive species in Canada, please report it. https://ow.ly/RWvt50Pej1E
