A carp harvest is under way on a Twin Cities area lake.
Workers from the University of Minnesota were harvesting common carp from Lake Lucy in Chanhassen on Thursday.
KSTP-TV reports the fish are harmful because they feed on vegetation at the bottom of lakes, harming water quality.
Researchers have been harvesting the fish from a chain of five lakes, including Lucy, in Chanhassen since 2006.
