Last year I asked an aquaculture instructor at cal poly what we could do to stop the asian carp from reaching the great lakes.
I'm paraphrasing, but his response was... "Nothing, we are screwed. It is just a matter of time as long as the waterway is intact"
Apparently it is virtually impossible (Based on pretty much every attempt we have made on other species in smaller bodies of water) to remove fish once they are transplanted and have acclimated...
All we can really do is sit back and see what happens to the fishery. Not exactly an ideal situation.
