GRASS CARP
Also featuring large scales that appear cross-hatched, grass carp have a short dorsal fin and small eyes that sit in line with the mouth. Unlike non-invasive common carp, their mouth is jawed (not suckered), and they don’t have barbels. Mostly black to olive-brown in colour, they can weigh more than 80 pounds and push the tape to five feet. They feed mostly on aquatic plants.
