The Asian Carp Crisis亚洲鲤鱼生态危机

An invasion threatening the heart of America's rivers一场威胁美国江河命脉的入侵

Asian carp are invasive fish originally from Asia, introduced into the United States in the 1970s to control algae and aquatic weeds in aquaculture systems. Due to flooding and rapid reproduction, they escaped into natural waterways and spread throughout the Mississippi and Illinois River basins.

亚洲鲤鱼是原产于亚洲的入侵性鱼类,于上世纪 70 年代被引入美国,用于控制水产养殖系统中的藻类和水草。但由于洪水泛滥和惊人的繁殖速度,它们逃入自然水域,迅速蔓延至密西西比河与伊利诺伊河流域。

They consume large amounts of plankton and aquatic organisms daily, threatening native fish, disrupting the food chain, and creating risks for the Great Lakes — where tens of millions depend on safe drinking water and healthy fisheries.

它们每天吞食大量浮游生物与水生生物,威胁本土鱼类、破坏食物链,并对五大湖区构成风险——那里有数千万人依赖安全的饮用水与健康的渔业资源。
