Introduction
by J. L. Decell
Throughout the United States, the use of the white amur (grass carp) has historically caused varying degrees of controverys, depending on the nature and location of the problem, the level of environmental sensitivity, policies, and politics.
A symposium was held in Gainesville on March 7-9, 1994, to discuss the effects of stocking grass carp for aquatic plant control. The purpose of the workshop was to provide information related to the concern for habitat protection and the suitability of using grass carp for aquatic plant control in large lakes.
