Sea Grant encourages anglers and boaters to watch for and report any new sightings of bighead and silver carp. The Bighead and Silver Carp Watch poster was created to aid the public with monitoring efforts. It includes information on how to identify bighead and silver carp and what anglers can do if they catch or find one. It also features photos of adult carp and juvenile carp alongside a native gizzard shad for comparison. You may receive a copy of this 11" x 17" poster from Susan White, white2@illinois.edu  or 217.333.9441. The cost is $3.50, including shipping. Make checks payable to the University of Illinois.
