Grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) spawned after they were introduced into the Volga, Ili, Terek, Amu‐Darya, and Kuban Rivers, and the Kara‐Kum Canal of the Soviet Union; the Tone River of Japan; the Ah Kung Tien Reservoir of Taiwan; the Pampangi River of the Philippines; and the Rio Balsas and the Bodegas Lake system of Mexico. Natural reproduction in the United States seems likely as soon as the large numbers of grass carp released into the Mississippi River system in 1973–1975 reach sexual maturity, probably in 1978 or 1979.
