Silver carp (), a federally threatened invasive species, were recorded at Lock and Dam Way in Alton, IL on September 16, 2026 and at other locations in August and September.1 The species is native to Asia but widely farmed globally; escapes from aquaculture establish feral populations that outcompete native fish through filter feeding.1
