The carp are coming and is that really a bad thing?

When it comes to exotic species you need to learn to love them. Sounds bad doesn't it. Enviromentalist often say exotic species indicate, by definition, a degraded or unhealthy ecosystem. Not necessarily true. There's little evidence that natives are more valuable than recently arrived species. In fact, it's hard to distinguish natives from non natives. Ring neck pheasants anyone? Brown trout anyone? There are plenty more but they all were once considered exotic species.

I'm not the almighty defender of carp but they are the most cultivated fish in the world. They have been introduced into 88 countries, primarily as food, but also to clean up algae without chemicals. So, if you make the argument that carp will create an unhealthy ecosystem you are only referring to an ecosystem the way you want it to be.

Learn to love them, learn to love them......and, practice your bow fishing skills!!!
