Victor Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 turning carp into biofuel?? ... so in the future when I go out for carp fishing... I can tell my girlfriend ...

JMahon Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 WOW, I really wish they'd have programs to remove alot of the carp from around here! I agree whole heartedly that they ruin spawning grounds, habitats, structure, water clarity, etc. I'm not saying to remove them entirely, cuz they do put up a good fight from time to time, but i think something should be done to thin out their populations! Maybe have a big province wide fish cull & introduce sterile fish to the remainder of the population!!! This would hopefully slow down their reproduction & yet still provide fishing opportunities for the carp fisherman out there!!! Honestly i think that what happened to Scugog, the Karwartha's, & Simcoe was great for the other fish species! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 So they are killing carp to save suckers LOL That does not make any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeshore Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 After reading that article, I have to wonder what they are going to do with all that fish. If it truly is contaminated, then its not fit for human consumption. It can't be used as trout feed, since we will just pass it back into the food chain. I wouldn't want it in fertilizers since its now conaminating the soil. I cant see using it to power vehicles, PCB's are strong carcinogens. Remove the PCB's, and make it into fuel does sound insteresting, but would hate to live downwind from that plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I doubt they are going to find an easy and profitable solution for disposing of all that carp. Whatever they do it will be expensive, and we don't need any more expensive pipe dreams here in Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 No easy answers with what to do with so many carp, and I certainly didn't read any in that article. Good luck but carp, like zebra muscles and gobies, etc., are here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) A lot of hair brained schemes and quacks will come crawling out of the woodwork at the first hint of government funding. Edited August 26, 2008 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
