Practical, modern technologies
for invasive carp management
Carp Solutions specializes in developing and applying innovative, science-based tools and strategies for common carp management.
We offer a broad range of services, conduct all aspects of carp management in-house, and have a proven track record of success.
“The staff at Carp Solutions were extremely knowledgeable, good communicators, fun to work with, and delivered both the technical data and the take-home messages in a way that provided clarity on the main management issues we need to address. There’s no question that we will consider them for this type of work in the future.”
