Scary scary clips there from youtube. I have no faith that our gov't will do anything effective. Sure, they've made it illegal to possess live Asian Carp, but that came about after ppl were releasing them as good luck. If they've been doing that, then they are already here...just have to wait for the population explosion.

I've seen how well those electric barriers work........ :rolleyes: ..........they may slow them down, but stop them.......far from it!!!

 

I think its already too late. They're gonna be here before anything gets done about them.

Here's where genetic engineering can help... Provided they don't mess it up...

 

Engineer their genes so that the carp only grow to be < 2 lbs max in size. Put these engineered carps in the missisip now and have them interbreed.

 

They will remain lower on the food chain and won't reproduce in the #'s they are at.

 

I know GE has risks, but at this point some fisheries are already gone what's there to loose in those waters?

 

Its not like this is anything new, eg: MNR/DNR and the Splake program.

 

 

The problem is you have these fish that come in and swamp the who ecosystem and grow to such a size that no predator can take them out... limit their size and at least we have a chance....
