“The fish were imported in the 1970s to help wastewater treatment facilities in the South keep their retention ponds clean. Mississippi River flooding allowed the fish to escape and then move into the Missouri and Illinois rivers. Some species can grow to more than 100 pounds.”
Gee a non-native species gets loose and starts to multiply geometrically. Who would have thunk it? /sarc

I can't believe that I actually agree with Dark Turbin on this issue.
We don't have the flying carp, but we have snakeheads in the area, not to mention the invasive plants that are fouling my fishing and boating places.
It isn't just that they are here, but they are killing the natural homegrown species of fish and wildlife.

I hope he has authority to call for air-support strikes.. Oh wait, these aren’t the flying ones ...
a carp on a mission is nothing to be messed with.

"This is a serious challenge, a serious threat," Durbin said. "When it comes to the Asian carp threat, we are not in denial. We are not in a go-slow mode. We are in a full attack, full-speed ahead mode. We want to stop this carp from advancing." That's too much carping about carp.

All they need is to post a bounty of $1 a fish or so and let all the young boys near the Great Lakes loose with fishing poles.
The lakes would be cleaned out of Asian carp in a hurry.

BTW, Hillary Clinton, in a rare moment of good sense, actually proposed a useful idea to deal with the Asian Carp. She has suggested encouraging commercial fishing of the carp for shipment to overseas market where the carp is regularly eaten, and exploring domestic sales possibilities.
I’ve had several types of Asian carp in China. Lemme tell ya, it is one tasty fish! A little on the bony side, but the meat is very good eating. I think it could be a hit in the restaurant scene, though they would probably have to market it as something other than “carp”.
