Tommy Goszewski, a technician with the U.S. Geological Survey, holds a grass carp taken from a pond at an agency lab in Columbia, Mo., this spring. Scientists have discovered that grass carp have reproduced successfully in the Great Lakes watershed. Because all Asian carp species require similar conditions to reproduce successfully, the discovery suggests it's likely that any of them could spawn there and in many other Great Lakes tributaries, said Duane Chapman, a USGS fisheries biologist.
