Carp for weed control?

[Turok12]

Hi, I am up in Southern Ontario, Canada, and have a 1/4 acre , 7 foot deep pond. I am finding out how invasive pond weeds can be, and have manually pulled and cut much already. I have primarily milfoil, curly leaf pondweed, and sago pondweed, along with some generous clumps of muskweed alge.
We swim regularly in the pond and the water clarity is at a good 4-5 feet depth. We have rock bass and sunfish and chubs/minnows as the other wildlife
Would a single, large common carp (not asian carp) make any difference in weed control? Would more be needed? Would introducing several carp be adding other problems? ( water clarity issues, over breeding , ?) Would carp even eat my type of weeds?!
Thanks for any input.

good questions . i do know my koi will divour MOST PLANTS no clue on any of your plants but i do believe the asian sterilized grass carp are probably your best plan of attack.

fountains and aerators are also tools in fighting pond invasive weeds

I've heard of golf courses using carp to control aquatic weeds.

Augur Lake in Keeseville, NY had a very bad problem with Milfoil and introduced grass carp as GBBUDD mentioned. I have heard that it was very successful...You might want to look into getting a few

Koi would be prettier to look at. Though it will be obvious they are not native fish.
