Ticker – MN-DNR and WI-DNR partner to capture 323 invasive carp

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has confirmed the capture of 323 invasive carp on Thursday, Nov. 30. Species captured were 296 silver carp, 23 grass carp, and 4 bighead carp.

This is the largest single capture of invasive carp that has occurred in Minnesota to date. The capture was made possible by tracking tagged invasive carp, which led agency staff and contracted commercial fishers to them for removal.
