'''Bighead Carp''' (''Hypophthalmichthys nobilis'') is a nonindigenous species of Chinese fish known to have recently invaded the [[Arkansas River]] watershed. Bighead carp have been fished from the waters of the river as far north as Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as well as between [[Wilbur D. Mills]] Dam No. 2 and the Mississippi River outlet. The fish is also found in the White River National Wildlife Refuge and in local municipal sewage lagoons, where it is actively stocked.
