• New York state moves to block release of Asian carp
  LakeNet news (Feb 5, 2004)
  New York has issued emergency regulations prohibiting most imports of live Asian carp, becoming the last of the Great Lakes states to bar the voracious eater that scientists and sportsmen fear will wreck the lakes' food chain. There is an exception to the rule in New York, however. The state will allow one of three species of Asian carp, bighead carp, to be transported live into New York City and parts of nearby Westchester County for sale in fish markets.
