Carp Swim from the US to Canada and Become a Disaster, Government Offers a Reward of over 50,000 per Fish, Worth Tens of Millions

According to The Daily Telegraph, a large number of Asian carp have been found in the waters of Lake Ontario in Canada. According to analysis by water scientists, these big carp most likely swam over from the United States. The carp's strong reproductive capacity makes it prone to becoming a disaster, causing damage to the ecological balance of Lake Ontario.

The government decided to implant a smart chip into the bodies of 100 carp, release them into the waters near Lake Ontario, and announced that anyone who can catch a carp with a chip can receive a reward of 10,000 Canadian dollars (51,850 RMB).

Once this order was issued, it sparked the enthusiasm of fishing enthusiasts across Canada, and many angling enthusiasts have already packed their gear and are eager to take action.

The rivers of Lake Ontario are connected to the rivers of the United States. Young carp and fish eggs followed the rivers to Canada and reproduced and lived here.

Carp are an invasive species here. Now they are growing bigger and more numerous here, already exceeding normal levels and causing damage to the lake's ecological balance.

Each female big carp can lay 3 million eggs per year. This strong reproductive capacity is worrying in waters without natural predators.

Assemblyman Paul Gard said that this bounty method can not only effectively reduce the number of carp through fishing, but also indirectly protect the native fish in Lake Ontario,
