Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Grass carp

Ok, first as mentieond I have NEVER seen grass carp control duckweed. In fact research had densities at 100/acre and still had watermeal, so it will not rid of it. Second not sure where the sentiment coems about GC causing muddy water. Again we stock them high for golf course clients and do not have muddy water. I have never seen them be the cause of muddy ponds, especailly one in a 1/4 acre pond. I think the muddy conditions caused from something else. Yes Cecil is 100% correct they are raised on fish pellets. Article in wildlife publicaiton last month on targeting the GC for fisherman.

I like the idea of adding 5 though to help with other SAV as CJ calls it. For duckweed since only 0.19 acre not just use whitecap? Even if 10 foot deep average it would only take two 8 ounce containers, $300.
