Section 2-1-4-11-105.01 - The culture of Carp Species:1. The culture of any non-native carp species (such as bighead carp, black carp, grass carp, silver carp and common carp) shall be conducted in a responsible manner that excludes the possibility of escape. It is necessary to construct a barrier that prevents escape of juvenile and adult fishes. Since these species are not known to reproduce in a pond culture situation, it will be acceptable to double screen pond drainpipes with at least one screen being of a mesh size small enough to prevent the passage of fingerling carp. Window screening material will not be considered adequate.2. Facilities that spawn carp fry must filter the hatchery effluent to prevent the passage of eggs and/or fry from the facility. A sand or pea gravel filter is the most effective measure to filter eggs and fry.2 Miss. Code. R. 1-4-11-105.01
