We've got good news and bad news....
The good news? Invasive mussels in the Great Lakes might keep invasive carp from establishing sustaining populations.
The bad news? Invasive carp might be able to live on mussel shit.
Duane Chapman, a U.S. Geological Survey biologist and Asian carp expert, says the fish are remarkably resourceful at scrounging up meals. He says they likely could feast on the fields of cladophora covering the lake bottom, and they may even be able to sustain themselves on mussel excrement.
