Asian Carp breach electronic gate, threaten Great Lakes fishing
The Asian Carp is an invasive species and is spreading inside of US waterways threatening some of the largest American sport-fishing habitat.
We have evidence this species has breached an electronic fence designed to contain them.
“A monster is loose. It eats 40 times its body weight per day, can grow up to 4 feet long, weighs up to 100 pounds and is known to launch itself out of the water at high velocity like a missile, frequently striking boaters and PWC operators who happen to be passing by.
Silver carp have the ability to jump high into the air and often hit boaters on the Missouri River. These fish were filmed in action as they seemingly mounted an attack on University of Missouri television producer Kent Faddis, filming them from aboard a U.S. Geological Survey research boat.
This hungry invasive species — the Asian carp — is believed to have breached a shock-producing electric barrier designed to prevent the giant invader from upsetting the ecosystem in the Great Lakes and jeopardizing a $7 billion sport fishery, officials said.”
