They grow very large very quickly with huge appetites to match and would easily outcompete native species for food and resources. Asian carps would\u00a0negatively impact\u00a0angling by decreasing biodiversity of popular angling species, boating by reducing water quality, and other forms of recreational water use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0<strong>FREE<\/strong>\u00a0event will consist of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An update from Fisheries and Oceans Canada on their Asian Carp Program<\/li>\n<li>Presentations from researchers at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus<\/li>\n<li>A question and answer period with the presenters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Spots are limited!
