Commercial fishermen now have more incentive to catch and remove invasive carp from Kentucky waters.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has increased the commercial fishing payout from ten-cents to fifteen-cents per pound for invasive carp removal at Kentucky Lake and Barkley Lake.
Fish and Wildlife officials say the change was made to keep pressure on invasive populations of silver carp, bighead carp, black carp and grass carp, which threaten native fish and aquatic habitats.
In 2024, commercial fishermen harvested more than 15-million pounds of invasive carp through Kentucky’s Invasive Carp Harvest Program.
Since its beginning in 2013, more than 74-million pounds of the carp have been taken from the waters.
