Prussian Carp Invading Calgary Storm Ponds | Calgary News

Prussian Carp are invading Calgary’s storm ponds — and they’re not going away. These non-native fish, often dumped illegally from aquariums, are spreading fast, threatening native species and our waterways. City officials warn it’s a province-wide crisis, with a five-year plan underway to tackle the problem. Violators face $3,000 fines, and if you’ve got unwanted fish, take them back to the pet store or dispose of them properly. First spotted in the Bow River around 2000, these tough, fast-reproducing invaders are hard to control once established. Report sightings via 1-855-336-BOAT or the EDDMapS app — your tip could stop bigger damage before it starts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
