This could be very bad
« on: November 20, 2009, 12:23:36 PM »
"Great Lakes advocates said today they’ve been told that DNA evidence of one species of Asian carp has been detected above the electric barrier intended to keep the fish out of Lake Michigan."


"Last week, the Corps and Illinois Department of Natural Resources said they planned to poison nearly 6 miles of the ship canal in early December to kill any possible carp so they would not be able to breach the main barrier when it goes down for maintenance for a few days."

Does anyone know how they got over here in the first place?

I believe catfish farmers in MS had them imported and were using them to clean stock ponds. A massive flood hit and those ponds overflowed and the fish got washed into the mighty MS. From there they have exploded.

That could be very bad. Especially if they get into the river systems.
