Opening Paragraph:
When stocking triploid grass carp (hereafter referred to as "grass carp") to control aquatic weeds, it is important to select the proper stocking rate of fish for the specific conditions in the treatment area. It is necessary to ensure that these fish will remain in the treatment area for weed control. If there are canals, ditches, culverts, streams, or any other type of flow into or from the water body, steps must be taken to prevent escape of the fish. One way to contain the grass carp is to place a barrier across the open channel that will not allow the fish to pass, yet will not significantly restrict water flow.
