Carp Threat to Game Fish Stirs Saskatchewan Action
Conservation officers at a Saskatchewan conference warned of a serious carp threat to regional game fish. They recommended extending control measures to all provincial waters, including the Souris, Qu Appelle, Assiniboia rivers, Swift Current and Battle creeks, and northern reaches toward the Saskatchewan and Waterhen rivers. Since first appearing in 1953, carp have moved from the Assiniboia overflow to near Crooked Lake, prompting emergency restrictions totaling 25 000 square miles to curb spread and angler bans as boundary concerns rise.
