and Control Plan for Asian Carps in the
United States.’’ This draft document
was prepared by the Asian Carp
Working Group of the Aquatic Nuisance
Species Task Force. We are seeking

document. Comments received will be
considered during the preparation of the
final national management and control
plan, which will guide cooperative and
integrated management of Asian carps
in the United States.
DATES: Submit your comments on the
draft ‘‘Management and Control Plan for
Asian Carps in the United States’’ by

ADDRESSES: The draft document is
available from the Executive Secretary,
Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401
North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA
22203; FAX (703) 358–1800. It also is

There are
many carps native to Asia, including
seven that have been introduced to the
United States. For the purposes of this
document the term ‘‘Asian carps’’ refers
to four species: black carp
(Mylopharyngodon piceus), bighead
carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis),
grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella),
and silver carp (H. molitrix). Feral
bighead, grass, and silver carps have all
established reproducing populations in

several major rivers of the United States.
To date, there have been six confirmed
collections of adult black carp by
commercial fishers in the United States
and unconfirmed reports of repeated
captures of adult black carp in the
Mississippi River and its tributaries over
the past 13 years. There have been no
collections of black carp eggs and larvae
or observations of spawning.
The Aquatic Nuisance Species Task
Force, which is authorized by the
Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance
Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (16
U.S.C. 4701 et seq.), and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service organized an Asian
Carp Working Group (Working Group)
to develop a comprehensive national
Asian carp management and control
plan. The Working Group agreed that
the desired endpoint of the plan is the
extirpation of Asian carps in the wild,
except for non-reproducing grass carp
within planned locations [i.e., areas
where nuisance aquatic vegetation can
be controlled using planned
introductions of sterile (triploid) fish
contained within a designated area].
The Working Group was charged with
developing a plan that first and foremost
protects our Nation’s natural resources.
The Working Group was also charged
with developing solutions that would
allow for a viable aquaculture industry
when implemented. Therefore, a
framework for the responsible use of
domestic stocks of Asian carp is
described throughout the plan. It is in
this context that the Working Group
developed strategies and
recommendations that address seven
goals to protect the Nation’s natural
resources. This collaborative process
was highly successful and nearly all
issues were resolved. The Working
Group developed 46 strategies and 129
recommendations to manage and
control Asian carps (see Table I, page
viii, of the draft plan). However, two
issues were not resolved within the
Working Group. In-depth discussions
for these two issues are presented in
Recommendation 3.1.15.10 (page 50),
‘‘Use of triploid black carp on
aquaculture facilities,’’ and
Recommendation 3.1.18.1 (page 59),
‘‘Commercial, domestic transport of live
farm-raised bighead and grass carps,’’ in
the draft plan. The discussion presented
for each of these two issues includes a
series of management questions that
remain to be resolved before strategies
and recommendations can be
formulated to effectively address these
unresolved issues.
Risk levels for potential pathways of
introduction were proposed based on
both the likelihood for an introduction
to occur and the potential for adverse
