Hey!! did you know that in 20 to 30 years the Asian carp is going to be the only fish we have due to the fact that they can eat anything including native species food source affecting the food chain. Lastly, the Asian carp feed on vast amounts of plankton, outcompeting native fish for their resources and space. They all play a role in wiping out the rainbow darter and make it difficult for other species to live there as well.
