• Water samples detect Asian carp eDNA in Lake Erie's Maumee Bay Asian carp environmental DNA (eDNA) has been detected in three of 350 water samples collected from western Lake Erie's Maumee Bay and Maumee River between July 31 and Aug. 4. The three samples, all positive for silver carp eDNA, were found in Maumee Bay - two in Michigan waters and one in Ohio waters. The water samples were collected as part of an extensive sampling effort developed in response to the discovery of Asian carp eDNA in water samples taken from Maumee and Sandusky bays in summer 2011. Learn more about how you can help prevent the spread of Asian carp and see the state's Asian Carp Management Plan at www.michigan.gov/asiancarp.
