Black carp, which are an invasive fish species in North America, are now known to be established in the wild in parts of the Mississippi River basin. A new study co-authored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the first to identify an established population—meaning they are naturally reproducing and living to adulthood— of wild black carp in any location across the U.S.

When a black carp is captured in the wild, it can be reported to the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species database. That tool compiles information on and can be used to track the status of other aquatic invasive species as well. The USGS is involved in many invasive species projects across the U.S. and its territories. Learn more by visiting the USGS Invasive Species website or the USGS Invasive Carp section.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has been working to slow the spread of invasive carp since the early 2000s. The Invasive Carp Action Plan was revised in 2024. The key purpose of the Action Plan is to slow the spread of invasive carp, minimize their impact, and reduce the likelihood of invasive carp reproducing in Minnesota waters.

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

The TWRA needs your help in collecting invasive carp. If you catch an invasive carp anywhere in Tennessee other than the Mississippi River OR If you catch any Invasive carp in East Tennessee or other water where invasive carp are not known to be established, the agency is asking that you put it on ice or freeze it and contact them immediately.

If you are unable to keep the fish, the TWRA asks you to submit photos of the fish and send the image to us. You can contact the nearest TWRA office by phone here, or by email at ans.twra@tn.gov.
