The observation that it is similar to Lake Erie is a good one. I would expect the same effects you saw on one of our slides: that they could readily survive there from a climatic point of view. The bigmouth buffalo, which is more or less an Asian carp analogue, does well in Manitoba. I would be very concerned about Asian carp. The one thing that may limit their distribution potentially is suitable spawning. We have not done a spawning tributary analysis for Manitoba yet.
