Stock grass carp (10-15 per acre, sterile triploid only — most state regs require sterile fish), use targeted aquatic herbicides per label and state rules, mechanical removal for small problem areas, and pond dye to shade out submerged vegetation. Maintain some vegetation for fish cover; total elimination harms fish habitat.
