East Asian native introduced to the US specifically for aquatic vegetation control. Grass carp eat hydrilla, milfoil, pondweed, and other submerged aquatic plants. They DON'T eat algae, water lilies, lotus, or pickerel weed - identify your nuisance vegetation before stocking. Most US states require triploid (sterile) grass carp; only a handful permit fertile diploids. Ship size matters - bass eat anything under 8".

Triploid (sterile) only in most states; varies state-by-state. Some states (TX, CA) require permits.
State legality is enforced at checkout - the Fast Aquatics 52-rule legality engine blocks restricted shipments before payment. Permits + DNR rules vary by state for sport-fish stocking over personal-use thresholds.
