In PA, you have to fill out an application that includes pictures of your water ingress and egress (sp?) to ensure that the grass carp cannot get out. Sometimes, they send someone out to see the pond if the pond is over a certain size also implying the addition of more grass carp than might be used in a smaller pond.

They don't want these fish getting into unanticipated areas and denuding the existing plant life.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
