The eggs and late-stage embryos of bighead or silver carp have been found in the Mississippi River near Lynxville in Crawford County — 250 miles north of any previously known reproducing population for the invasive carp.

The finding is the latest sign that the destructive fish are slowly moving up the Mississippi River basin and into inland waters of the Midwest.
