Officials said the bighead carp that are captured out of the lake system will be used for ongoing research regarding the population.
“They’ve gotten us a few now and we simply can’t appreciate it enough,” the department shared online.
Wildlife officials said that bighead carp is a direct competitor with other fishes in the lake system and could be devastating to the striped bass fishery and paddlefish recovery efforts. Officials advised those who find a bighead carp in the Grand Lake system to not return it to the water but to report it to the Porter Office at 918-683-1031 or the Paddlefish Research Center at 918-542-9422.
