I beleive i clarified that it was prussian on the first page of this post. Crucian carp would not be able to multiply at this pace. they're clearly silver with pronaunced lateral line, which is not typical for crucian carp. Either way bigger the population smaller the indiiduals.
Prussian carp doesn't really favor salmonid water, if it was chub then you'd have something to worry about. Where i come from they are abundant, danube river and its watershed. As soon as you start aproaching teritory with fresh mountain runoff they are nowhere to be found. They favor warm water bodies. So i'd say reservoirs should be the place to concentrate your efforts on. Domestic fish that will suffer will will be the minnows, larger fish will coexist without a problem. Predatory fish will gain from this. Prussian carp did not affect zander, pike, catfish, perch, chub...or any game fish. They did destroy minnow species, thats the downfall.
