  • Carp, Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys Nobilis)
    Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) Ecological Risk Screening Summary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, February 2011 Revised, June 2018 Web Version, 8/16/2018 Photo: A. Benson, USGS. Public domain. Available: https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.aspx?SpeciesID=551. (June 2018). 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From Jennings (1988): “The bighead carp is endemic to eastern China, […] in the lowland rivers of the north China plain and South China, including the Huai (Huai Ho), Yangtze, Pearl, West (Si Kiang), Han Chiang and Min rivers (Herre 1934; Mori 1936; Chang 1966; Chunsheng et al. 1980).” Status in the United States From Nico et al. (2018): “This species has been recorded from within, or along the borders of, at least 18 states. There is evidence of reproducing populations in the middle and lower Mississippi and Missouri rivers and the species is apparently firmly established in the states of Illinois and Missouri (Burr et al. 1996; Pflieger 1997). Pflieger (1997) received first evidence of natural reproduction, capture of young 1 bighead carp, in Missouri in 1989. Burr and Warren (1993) reported on the taking of a postlarval fish in southern Illinois in 1992. Subsequently, Burr et al. (1996) noted that bighead carp appeared to be using the lower reaches of the Big Muddy, Cache, and Kaskaskia rivers in Illinois as spawning areas. Tucker et al. (1996) also found young-of-the-year in their 1992 and 1994 collections in the Mississippi River of Illinois and Missouri. Douglas et al. (1996) collected more than 1600 larvae of this genus from a backwater outlet of the Black River in Louisiana in 1994.

  • Bighead Carp US ARMY CORPS of ENGINEERS Building Strong®
    bighead carp US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS Building Strong® Common Name bighead carp Genus & Species Hypophthalmichthys nobilis Family Cyprinidae (minnows and carps) Order Cypriniformes (carps, minnows, loaches, suckers) Class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) Diagnosis: The bighead carp is characterized by a stout body, large head, massive opercles (gill covers), the head and opercles have no scales, snout bluntly rounded, mouth terminal and appears to be upside down, barbels are absent, and the jaws have no teeth. The eyes are small, located far forward below the angle of the jaw and project downward. Scales are small, cycloid, and cover the entire body. The lateral line is complete with 95-120 scales in series. This fish can weigh up to 100-lbs. The bighead carp may be distinguished from the silver carp by having long thread-like gill rakers, wheras silver carp have sponge like gill rakers. The keeled abdomen of the silver carp extends from the anal vent almost to the base of the head, whereas the keel of the bighead carp extends from the anal vent to the base of the pectoral fins. Ecology: This fish tends not to spawn in still water or small streams, but in large flood swollen rivers. Spawning occurs after spring rains have flooded the rivers and when the temperature of the water reaches 77°F. Eggs are fertilized externally and need to float downstream. Regarded as a filter-feeder, consuming mainly zooplankton, this fish is capable of eating between 20 and 120% of its body weight each day. Like all planktivores, they eat from the bottom of the food chain, thusly competing with native planktivores, juvenile fishes and mussels.

  • Bighead Carp, Hypophthalmichthys Nobilis
    Invasive Species Fact Sheet Bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis General Description Bighead carp are large, freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family. They are deep bodied and laterally compressed, with a large head that is nearly a 1/3 of the size of their body. Their eyes sit low on their head and they have a large, upturned mouth. Bighead carp are gray to silver on their back and sides with numerous grayish-black blotches, and cream Bighead carp colored on their bellies. Bighead carp have long, thin, Photo by South Dakota Department of Game, Fish, and Parks unfused gills that they use to filter feed zooplankton (animal plankton) and large phytoplankton (plant plankton) from the water. Bighead carp can grow over 4 feet in length and weigh up to 88 pounds. Bighead carp closely resemble silver carp, but can be distinguished by their blotchy coloration and unfused gills. Current Distribution Bighead carp are not currently found in California, but were previously introduced in 1989 when 3 ponds in Tehama County were illegally stocked with both bighead and grass carp. The California Department of Fish and Game eradicated all carp from the ponds in 1992. Bighead carp were first introduced to the United States in the 1970s. They have been reported within or along the borders of at least 18 central and southern states, and are established and reproducing in various waterbodies throughout those states, including the lower Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Bighead carp are native to low gradient Pacific Ocean drainages in eastern Asia, from southern China through the northern edge of North Korea and into far eastern Russia.

  • Least Wanted” AIS List
    “Least wanted” AIS list he Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers have identified the “least wanted” aquatic invasive species (AIS) that present an Timminent threat to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River region. In 2013, the Governors and Premiers committed to take priority action on the transfer of these species to and within the region. Since then, the states and provinces have taken more than 50 separate actions to restrict these high-risk AIS, and the US federal government has similarly restricted four of the species. The list includes: Bighead carp Silver carp Grass carp Black Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Ctenopharyngodon idella Mylopharyngodon piceus Bighead carp feed on plankton, Similar to bighead carp in their Grass carp eat aquatic Black carp consume up to 20% a primary food for many native feeding habits, silver carp pose vegetation and degrade aquatic of their body weight per day fish including walleye, yellow additional threats to boating and habitats.
