Although an Asian carp hasnâ??t been caught in Lake Michigan, new DNA evidence suggests the invasive species could be present, a fisheries and nonindigenous species specialist said during a lecture at University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc.
More than 40 people attended Phil Moyâ??s lecture, “Asian Carp on the Doorstep,” on Tuesday evening, which focused on the significance of the DNA found in Lake Michigan and the potential of the fish establishing themselves in the Great Lakes. Moy has been with the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute since 1999, working with commercial, sport and charter anglers and inland lake groups to address concerns and provide research information.
