Description

An invasive plant species continues to spread in Lake Austin. Now, the city is taking a more aggressive approach to stop the hydrilla takeover -- carp. The fish are known for calm waterway cleanup, munching on plants along bottom. Officials hope the hydrilla covering about 600 acres of Lake Austin will be no different.
