Since Asian Carp typically eat out the lowest trophic layer (plankton, etc.) of an aquatic ecosystem, they can easily devastate the delicate ecosystem of the Great Lakes in New York. Also, since Asian Carp have no natural predators in American waters, they can breed and multiply quite rapidly. Here is a list of Great Lake species endangered by these Asian invaders:
Walleye
Perch
Salmon
Trout
Cisco
Bloaters
Muskie
