kickingfrog Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/081225/...ke_trout_jell_o Weird news story of the day: By The Associated Press ADVERTISEMENT BOZEMAN, Mont. - A researcher at Montana State University says Jell-O, ultrasound, microwaves and electroshocking are among possible solutions to eliminate lake trout in Yellowstone National Park. Lake trout were introduced illegally into the park and threaten native cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake. To find the best way to destroy lake trout eggs, Al Zale received a grant from the National Park Service. He and his collaborators will analyze several potential solutions and recommend the best. If Jell-O is chosen, Zale says it would probably be unflavoured. He says workers could spread it over the fish eggs to smother them. Zale adds it would seem efficient to get rid of the eggs during spawning season, which occurs primarily during late fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forrest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yep they have forrest. All the ones on the east coast. You are talking about over harvesting, correct? I have read about attempted eradication of Carp and Pike in water systems. Things like poisoning the whole system and then restocking have taken place only to have the unwanted fish return in big numbers. I guess people keep quite when things go as planned. forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
