INVASIVE SPECIES - Silver Carp -- Invasive Carp are large fish known to jump out of the water and injure boaters. They can be found in many of Missouri’s big rivers. It is important to know that invasive carp cannot be used as live bait in the state. Any unused live bait, such as minnows, crayfish, or worms should not be released into any waters, but disposed of in trash receptacles to prevent new invasive populations. | Missouri Dept. of Conservation
