Grass Carp is a non-native obligate herbivore that consumes primarily rooted and attached aquatic vegetation, but can consume algae, some terrestrial vegetation, and occasionally invertebrates. At high abundances Grass Carp can consume large percentages of aquatic vegetation, and because they have strong preferences for some species over others can alter species distributions and relative abundances. The potential for ecological damage in the Great Lakes is high if Grass Carp become established and produce large populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th scope=\"row\">Funding Opportunity Title:<\/th><td>Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th scope=\"row\">Eligible Applicants:<\/th><td>Others (see text field entitled &#8220;Additional Information on Eligibility&#8221; for clarification)<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Additional Information on Eligibility:<\/th><td>This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.
