Title
Best Paper in the North American Journal of Aquaculture.
Abstract
The article presents an overview of a research by Jonathon J. Ledford and Anita M. Kelly that won the Best Paper in the "North American Journal of Aquaculture" in 2007. They aimed to test the use of black carp to remove parasite-carrying snails in farmed channel catfish ponds. The researchers tested various sizes of redear sunfish, blue catfish and black carp to determine their snail munching abilities. They found that black carp consumed most of the snails due to their large mouth size and crushing molars.
