What's so great about Asian carp? 🐟mild-flavored & flaky 🐟caught in the Midwest 🐟more savory than tilapia 🐟cleaner tasting than catfish 🐟firmer than cod It needs a name as appealing as its taste so more people will eat it, help restore waterways & protect the Great Lakes.

Aquatic invaders are found in trades like live food, aquarium & water garden supplies, live bait, and classrooms. TakeAIM.org has outreach materials from across North America to help these audiences stop the spread of aquatic invaders in the marketplace! #NISAW

⚠️We're aware that invasive mussels have been found in moss ball products sold in stores in the US. At this time, we have unconfirmed evidence of infected shipments to 🇨🇦, and we're monitoring the situation closely in collaboration with our provincial counterparts.
