   • 2022 June 22, Patti Wetli, “Introducing Copi, the Fish Formerly Known as Asian Carp”, in WTTW‎:

     You’re in the mood for fish and your server suggests a dish of invasive carp. Ugh, you might say. But how about broiled copi, fresh from the Mississippi River?

     That may as well be the new battle cry for Illinois fishery managers trying to rebrand four invasive species of Asian carp as copi.
