Answer
Brief Explanations:
A run - on sentence incorrectly combines two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions. Here, the two clauses "In the 1970s, Asian carp were imported to clean ponds on aquaculture farms in the South" and "they are believed to have escaped and spread, negatively affecting fish populations as far north as the Great Lakes" are separated by a semicolon, which is a correct way to join independent clauses.
Answer:
no
