It’s unusual for bighead carp to live that long, CPW spokesperson Kara Van Hoose said in an email, but the fish didn’t have any natural predators or competition for food in the pond.
A Colorado Parks and Wildlife employee holds one of 14 invasive bighead carp removed from Jack B Tomlinson Park in Arvada on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials removed 14 massive, invasive carp from a pond at an Arvada park last week, more than 30 years after the fish were introduced as part of a national study.
Invasive species have to be removed from our waters to ensure overall aquatic health for all wildlife. While all invasive species might not be as big as these carp, nothing should be in our waters that doesn't belong. Bighead carp are not native to Colorado and negatively impact the ecosystem by competing with other fish for plankton, their main food source, state officials said.
