We are rounding up grass carp samples from various locations around the USA. There are several goals, but all relate to understanding the biology and ecology of grass carp in the USA. I have all I need from the Missouri River, and probably will get all I need from the middle Mississippi River and the Illinois River. I'm looking for up to 30 fish from a site. I would like to get fish from as many as possible of the following locations: the Red River drainage, from the Lower Mississippi, the Atchafalaya, the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Ohio, and from any reservoir that has no navigation through that contains a reproducing population or possibly contains a reproducing population.

I have fisheries workers all over the US on the lookout for me, but many of them don't catch many grass carp or just don't remember or have time when the time comes. Please PM me if you can help. NO cost to you - I pay all shipping and provide everything you need except the grass carp. I know it is the end of the season in most places, but I will likely continue to be collecting samples through the next summer. Are there any tournaments coming up that might have a lot of grass carp shot?[/align]
