Impact Description | Black Carp are known to prey on a variety of native U.S. mollusks: Elimia livescens, Hamiota perovalis, Lampsilis cardium (Great Lakes native), Lampsilis cariosa, and a clam of the genus Musculium. Black Carp also consume the nonindigenous clam Corbicula fluminea, although its larger size posed a bigger challenge to young Black Carp compared to smaller native mollusks. |
