Controlling common carp (Cyprinus carpio): barriers, biological traits, and selective fragmentation

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a non-native fish species in many parts of the world which has negative impacts on freshwater environments including plant loss, re-suspended sediment, and altered nutrient flux. Eradication of common carp can be extremely difficult and conventional management efforts have focused on control or containment, achieved with barriers that decrease or eliminate access to specific habitats. Here, we examined …
