Abstract
Ventura Marsh, located in the headwaters of Clear Lake in Cerro Gordo and Hancock Counties, Iowa, has historically served as the prime spawning habitat for the fish population of Clear Lake. There is an outfall structure that includes a fish trap and rod barrier to keep carp out of the marsh. The fish trap has not been functional for the past 30 years, and as a result, carp have been able to move freely between the marsh and the lake. Poor water quality conditions in the marsh are attributed to the large population of bottom feeding carp that has colonized the marsh.
