Texas is offering anglers $100 for every invasive black carp they catch and submit as part of a multi-state programme aimed at learning more about the species and tracking its spread through the Mississippi River basin.
The bounty is part of a research effort led by the Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee (ICRCC). Participating fishers can receive $100 per black carp, with up to 10 reimbursements available each month.
