Something's Fishy is a simple story that describes a complex issue, the introduction and spread of invasive carp in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. What started out as a management solution has resulted in an ecological nightmare. It could get worse. If bighead and silver carp enter the Great Lakes, they would likely disrupt a multi-billion dollar commercial and recreational fishing industry. However, the situation could improve if people at home and abroad ate them. Although not a permanent fix, consumption is a healthy and delicious way to address this problem. Bon app©tit.
Industry Reviews

Dr. Morgan allows readers of all ages a way to understand complex ecological ideas using simple language. It's a thoughtful way to address a serious problem.

~ Kevin Irons, Assistant Chief of Fisheries, Illinois Department of Natural Resources

Something's Fishy is a story that discusses environmental challenges and sustainable solutions that address food security. One of those is consumption since Asian carp contain many nutrients that are ideally suited for human growth and development.

~ Dr. Kiruba Krishnaswamy, Assistant Professor, Sustainable Food Systems Engineering, University of Missouri

This fun, yet insightful book offers a humanitarian solution to a fishy problem in the Midwest.

~ Professor Henry Hughes, author of Back Seat with Fish, English Department, Western Oregon University

Native fish species in Missouri are declining due to the overabundance of Asian carp in our waterways. Flying fish can hurt people and damage boats. Eating these invaders is a delicious way to address the problem, one bite at a time!

~ Tyler Schwartze, Executive Director, Conservation Federation of Missouri
