KILLER CARP
KILLER CARP
TIME (2010) 8/23
Asian carp is not a delicacy in the USA. They are big, fierce, adaptable, and can quickly reproduce. There are bones within the meat so it is not something the American consumer may like. There is a portion of in the Mississippi and heading for the Great Lakes. What they need is a predator of which there are none. If you are driving in a motor boat and hit a school of carp, you see huge fish (carp) jumping high in the water. The members of the boat are likely to get hit and hit hard breaking bones and related. No one has been killed yet disabled permanently, however time may tell. Nearly all parties along the Mississippi and the Great Lakes area want them gone. Further, no one is sure of the best defense. An electrical charge when a school settles or rushes by is a possibility. That may be their demise.
