James RickardMore Asian Carp found
June 27th 2010 01:42
Way back in October of 2007, I posted a video of flying carp or, more accurately Asian Carp. (Yeah, I've been on Orble a while!)
An invasive species, Asian Carp have turned up in the US, Australia, and other parts of the world with alarming frequency. People may say, "It's just a fish. What's the big deal?" The problem is that the Asian Carp eliminates nearly EVERYTHING in its surroundings and quickly rises to the top of the food chain wherever you find them. That means all the bass, other carp, pan-fish and even plankton soon vanish from the ecosystem.
Aside from those horrors, Asian Carp actually jump through the water much like a dolphin! At three feel long, if you're hit with one, don't be surprised if a broken bone is the result.
Asian Carp have been inching further and further up the Mississippi River here in the US, and things really hit the fan the other day when one was found near Lake Michigan.
Here's the news story that popped up on my browser the other day that contains a video explaining a potential for disaster.

Is it just me or is that video a little like JAWS? You have one guy who is worried, the politician who doesn't want to shut things down and then, there's the scientist.
At any rate, I'll keep you advised it anything develops.
