They can typically be found in small schools, although larger carp often lead a solitary existence. One of the most important adaptations to Bighead carp is the fact that these fish can grow to large sizes so quickly. Common carp reduce quality of water by releasing phosphorous, which increases algae growth by providing this necessary nutrient that is otherwise limited in lakes. This adaptation allows Bighead carp to overrun many of the native fish as they eat the main food supply. Boston, C.M., R.G. N.p., n.d. 1977.
