Copi

That includes tributaries like the Illinois River, where invasive fish species have long plagued the waterways.

Illinois officials are marketing copi, the fish formerly known as Asian carp, as a tasty and nutritious food for humans to eat. But copi may also appeal as a meal to other fish.

Since first appearing in the Illinois River in the late 1980s and early 1990s, copi have largely crowded out native species like catfish or gar.

Is bad branding what's keeping Asian carp from meeting its full potential as a food source? The Illinois Department of Natural Resources believes a new name could net the invasive fish a new place on thousands of dinner tables.
