To effectively clean Asian carp, first remove the scales by scraping them off with a knife. Next, make a cut behind the gills and remove the head. Then, gut the fish by cutting along the belly and removing the internal organs. Rinse the fish thoroughly with cold water to remove any remaining blood or debris. Finally, fillet the fish by cutting along the backbone to separate the meat from the bones.

1500 years because back then they would use them to clean algae
Asian carp are an invasive fish that has made its way to the Great Lakes. Adult Asian carp are too large to be eaten by any natural predators, but juvenile carp are eaten by White pelicans and eagles and other larger fish.
Asian carp were first introduced in the US to keep aquacultural facilities clean. They have a huge appitite and in the 1970's they escaped into the wild. They eat plankton-algae which is a main source of some native fish. An Asian carp caneat between 20 and 120 percent of their body weight a day. This causes a lot of stress for the native fish.
Asian carp's food web involves plankton-algae, and other microscopic organisms.
The Asian Carp is native in Asia.
The effects of the Asian carp being introduced into an environment is dependent upon which environment is in question. The Asian carp being introduced into the Great Lakes has had many negative affects.
When Asians were traveling to America in boats, the Asian Carps hung on to the boats and traveled with them, then when they got there, the Asian Carps got off the boats and into the Great Lakes. Actually Asian Carp were brought to the U.S. in an experiment to clean up ponds. During flooding the carp escaped the ponds and got into the Mississippi River system. They have not been confirmed to be in the Great Lakes yet. See link below for more information.

There is more types of asian carp and there is at least two.
There are four main types of Asian carp: bighead carp, silver carp, grass carp, and black carp. These invasive species are known for their rapid reproduction and high jumping ability, which can disrupt ecosystems and outcompete native fish species for resources.
