Abstract:

In the early 1950s, the carp population in Lake Mattamuskeet was destroying natural waterfowl food-plants which were necessary for migratory birds that winter at the lake. Cahoon discusses the removal of the carp, the prevention of their reentry into the lake, and the effects of the removal.
