There are currently five species of Asian carp in North America that are of concern and they include: common carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and fl carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus).
Their feeding activity has severe impacts on wetland habitats because they suck up sediments and organisms from the bottom, uproot and destroy vegetation and muddy the water.
