Asian carp in Kentucky and Barkley lakes - Effects on Bass and Crappie

Asian Carp began appearing in Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley in 2004, but public awareness skyrocketed in 2017 when anglers began noticing skinny fish in Kentucky Lake. In this public presentation, Adam Martin, western district fisheries biologist for Kentucky Fish & Wildlife, discusses the impacts of Asian carp and offers a brief introduction into the incredibly complex interactions between plankton, fish, and related environmental conditions. There are reasons to be hopeful about the future of the fisheries in these lakes, but we have a lot of work left to do in the war on carp.
