Note

ALERT! It is illegal to possess live white perch (KAR 115-18-10)

What do I do if I find white perch?

If you find white perch, do not release the fish back into the water. If you catch a white perch at a location other than where they have been previously captured (list above), freeze it in a sealed plastic bag, note the date and location, and call the Emporia Research Office at (620) 342-0658 or email the Aquatic Nuisance Species Coordinator.
