520			_a"The more Dan Thomas learns about the bighead carp swimming toward the Great Lakes, the more the avid salmon fisherman fears for the future of Lake Michigan....Bighead can grow bigger than an Olympic gymnast. They don't have teeth and can't be caught by hook and line, but they've got mouths so big and round they could gobble a softball whole. The biggest can weigh more than 100 pounds and suck up to 40 pounds of plankton per day--food upon which nearly all other fish species in the Great Lakes directly or indirectly depend. They've been called the 100-pound zebra mussel, and commercial fishermen along stretches of the Illinois River that have been infested by these 'Asian carp' have one simple message for Great Lakes lovers: Fear these fish." (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL) The author comments upon the U.S. government's lack of response in protecting the Great Lakes from invasive species.
