American Fishing Club and our other partners to produce our first television show: Silent Invaders. A quick moving information series on invasive species and what you can do to help protect you favorite waters. This is episode 3 covering the destruction of fisheries by Asian carp.
Hi everybody, we in Hungary love to eat this invasive fish in various forms of dishes. One more tip: make sousage from this fishmeat adding some bacon to it. Smoke it, dry it for some weeks. Delicious.
What some of you guys don't understand is that this fish competes directly with the primary food source of every single predator in the Mississippi River; the shad. In healthy streams the shad usually makes up close to 50 percent of the fish biomass in the river system. The shad and the carp compete for the plankton for food. Fewer shad means fewer largemouth bass, white bass, striped bass, blue catfish, flathead catfish, crappie, etc. These carp grow too quickly for these predators to naturally control the carp population.
I say we eat this problem!
Have no season on them and let anybody take as many of them as we want !
That's the answer to this problem.
Start promoting how good and tasty they are
McDonald’s Burger King and other fast food places can use this to make cheap food for the masses! We if there’s companies commercially fishing for this fish we could control it in no time flat!
This fish could actually be the answer for world hunger, if you introduce it to Africa many people could eat. You could use it for aquaponics farms and don’t worry about the algae because that’s what they eat.
If you catch them you can send them to Venezuela, they would love to eat fish right now, they are going through the worst famine in the history of America, they could also send it to North Korea as a good will gesture to help with their famine problem too!, you could freeze dry it and it would make cheap food for the propers. It can make cheap pet food, or you can can it and just call it river tuna! And sell it to the public!
11:24 Moe Bader and the restaurant Oceana was featured on Kitchen Nightmares S04E14 with his brother Rami. I knew I recognized him from somewhere.
Eradication is possible, create a market and then open a non restricted commercial season. Commercial fishermen are the very best at eradicating a species
the problem isn't food production we all ready produce enough food to feed the world, the problem is proper distribution.
Has anyone tried using a SOUND BARRIER to keep these fish from migrating. If it works, putting sound underwater is a lot less expensive than electrical barriers in the canals.
could they be marketed to the pet food market?
lol that lady at 13 minutes saying that they want to make sure we get people out there to create a demand for the fish, and then saying that we need to have an exit strategy when we meet that goal. So basically you're telling me that you want to get people into the market and take the risk investing in your idea, and then once they're making money you're going to tell them "okay, games over..thanks for playing we're done now"......Do you really think anybody making money is going to just abandon the money and time they've invested into their processing plants and distribution channels once they finally established a steady income? Thats one of the most naive things i've heard and that lady doesnt seem to have a grasp on reality. That was a plan that would only work in her perfect world. Theres no way that it will work out that way unless you get a philanthropist to be the main investor in this project. If the person running the processing plant and distribution warehouses wasnt doing it for money and was just trying to save the rivers, then *maybe* will they shut down their business once they've reached their goal and eradicated the fish. But honestly once you start making money and create a unique market from the ground up, you're not just going to walk away from it because that was the vision when you started out......
Top notch video with sensible commentary.
Both bighead and silver carp are EDIBLE, so why not create a commercial fishery based on them, it's not that hard. Instead of killing them and discarding them, maybe they should start putting them in their frying pans

I've been living in Illinois all my life and had no clue about this!
Time to dump millions of Pike and wallies take advantage of the forage base. Add Bass, more pan fish.
I know a great recipe for baked asian carp!
1. Gut and behead the carp in cool water.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
3. Put carp on a oak board and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
4. Take fish out of the oven, throw it away, and enjoy your board!
7:04 Fish: You tryin' to kill us ho well here is a slap!
Girl: Cries
YEAAAAH !!! So who is hungry ?
somewhere around 7:08 is hilarious XD the fish was like "stop bow fishing my friend, bitch!"
Eating Asian carp doesn't sound bad to me. Some people don't like the prospect of eating Bigmouth or Black Buffalo fish either and consider them rough fish, but those fish are downright delicious eating with their white meat, but are also bony like the carp. Sure, I'd eat one of those carp.

What a waste...over 3000 fish tossed out because they think they're garbage...that's a lot of mouths they could have fed.
carp is delicious too, it's just very bony
KITCHEN NIGHTMARES !!! Chef from Oceana was literally on KN.
Their eyes are much rounder than I thought they would be.
Back home in philippines we ate them and buy them in market this is yummy fish they are not bottom feeders like sucker lol here in canada i catch sucker and its garbage they are bottom feeders but this ASIAN CARP or we call it IMELDA in philippines ! I used to catch this in river sometimes we buy them! The meat is good and they dont have a mouth like sucker this fish eat like a normal fish! Yummy fish :)
Damm, the jumping carp broke her jaw. That’s a fish punching back. Eat carp to beat carp....😆😆🇺🇸🇺🇸
Asian Carp.... the only fish that can fight back and hurt people.
invader? this is a great food source. help end world hunger and get rid of cholesterol at the same time.
Well, if "irradication is no longer viable", as the dude claims, then maybe the Schafer Fisheries man doesn't have to sweat the continuity of supply issue. In fact, progress in reduction efforts would mean a bottleneck in supply to where he could adjust his pricing accordingly. In times when they make a temporary comeback, he can drop his prices and offer special deals. Supply and demand economics.
I thought this video was incredible. I've never seen so many fish before! And I also understand this particular specie is competing for food among other native ones. And it's also causing environmental problems. But what I find more disturbing is calling the fish, "trash fish." Trash has no use - or at least, didn't. Nowadays we can recycle, process trash. I suppose the video has suggested inventive ways of coping with the problem. This I think is positive. So, let's reflect on our words.
A blessing . against World Hunger . And smoked . it would be very easy to take all the bones out .. Let them polute all the great lakes . A BLESSING . no more hungry kids . . I just read . 1 fish produces . 800000 young fish . A survival rate of 80% ..
@arienrode right, suppressing an invasive species by introducing another foreign species is a great idea.
They eat algae so they aren't in competition with other big fish. This is why they are able to get so big so fast.
I wouldnt say these carps are the best taste fish, but they are certainly not the worse if cooked in a right way.
@Kevonshay Payton Thats because they weren't always there, they have been moving upriver to feed because they are running out of food.
Im asian and ill tell you how you can eat the asian carp and not have to worry about the bones in 5 easy steps. 1. You fillet the fish. 2. Cut up your favorite herbs. 3. You dice up the fillet carp into thump size. 4. you throw your herbs and dice up carp into a blender and blend it until its perfect blended. 5. Heat up the oil and throw it in until cook.. Bam! No bone you have to worry about... If you tried it reply back please...
This guy is onto something. Although they should only use it for fertilizer or animal food. I would eat it if it were raised in clean non-toxic water. Or they could prepare it and sell it to other countries and send it to the starving in other countries.
Problem solved.
They could capture some babies and then raise them in clean water for american consumption.
Think this through. Really rack your brain and think this through.
The ship is jumping at you, get a open boat and wait for them to jump in, easy money
catch and feed the PRISONS in and around the River area.. Freeze them and ship them to all the Prisons..feed the HOMELESS..what is going on.....food going to waste.....good eating....full bellies...win-win..
I read they dont taste too good. So its a perfect solution to give to the prison cuz they dont eat quality food anyways.
It depends on who and how they cook it. If you use spices you can make a really great dish, I never eat it before, I’m willing to eat it and If is cheap enough I’m sure many people will find it tasty!
Good an idea. Can save a lots and cut cost.
Rtoothbooth Gt They’re actually a very pure tasting fish from what I’ve heard. All they eat is plankton so they’re not tainted at all.
Yesterday, i went to Koren market in Atlanta, and I was looking for Asian Carp.
Yes, you can buy this Asian Carp and only 99 cent pbl
The main reason I wouldn’t want to eat them is because the Mississippi River is so dirty
They should harvest them and use them to feed captive whales, sharks, etc. They could even use them for animal food. Other than the poluted water they live in they would be a good source of food. They could transplant babies into clean water and instantly have a new source of food.
my friend told me they taste amazing!! Don't worry, us asians will help clean them up if they ever reach MN. lol
love the dramatic music
Tim wells is the shit! Glad to see everyone working towards a solution. We have to get commercial fisherman after these pests
Asian Carp is a great food source & addition to the biomass. FACT: PPL pay money to eat Asian Carp. Designating them as an detriment is a scam to legally steal for invested interest. Just my opinion.
i'm watching this video about invasive species but the only thing i kept thinking is how those humans are the greatest invasive species of all.
I have no problem with the fish being sold, but I do have a problem with them in our waterways. Over fish and wipe them out, then raise them in tanks if you want to sell them. We don't need people assuring their existence in the rivers. I kill these things every chance I get in an oxbow lake nearby. I am working on ways to be more deadly, especially with the low water in the midwest this year.
Could also help out countries in famine fillet them freeze dry them a cheap and easy source of protein. whilst ridding waterways of the fish.
Hey everyone shut up, I have an idea. We catch boat fulls of these fish through commercial fishing, gill nets, electrofishing and people bowfishing and bringing their fish into processing plants. Then either send them off to chefs like the guy shown here or ship them overseas. If we decide to eat them here it can help the cod fisheries by reducing the need for cod. If we ship them overseas, we can use that profit made there to start to pay off the national debt. If anything the state debt.
Your problem is that you are not hungry! In our country, this can not happen! Nobody is going to let the opportunity to make this fish such a large population! If there are so many fish in our rivers here, be sure there are people who will constantly hunt shall fish while to finish!
This is a part of global evolution of life, which may be slowed down but cannot stop it especially in the wake of global shrinkage by ever-accelerating transportation, communication, and coexistence. So, don't exercise racists' stupidity to belittle others' existing, moving, and exploring the world together.
11:26 that's Moe from Kitchen Nightmares lol. Oh wow didn't expect to see him here
Harvest the asian carp and process the fish oil into biodiesel. Use what is left for fertilizer.
Section off a certain length of waterway ie 1000 yards introduce 3 or 4 sharks .
The Oceana Grill was on kitchen nightmares and big bad Moe @ 11:23
here is a big solution, get a trawler, attach a net, harvest, then sale to Long John Silver's or Captain D's
This is where we need bull sharks now.
Now I know why those fish jumped...and for sure they are not stupid.
such as alligator gar? they are currently trying to stock them on the mississippi.
I am at Illinois. Where can I fish for these carp?
Tug boats with commercial fishing nets. At this point you can't stop them. Only control them.
@ryfitz96 We can't get too comfortable with eating them though. If they go on the market, there will be constant demand for them. Once they are gone from the river systems, we can't continue raising them because it is too risky!
Trowled fishing is the answer this problem...to catch many as you want
Is a license required to fish for the Asian Carp, or to hunt other harmful invasive species of animals, such as Burmese Python?
I don't see why we don't wipe the section of the water column in which these fish reside! Granted, this would probably kill more than just the carp, but in my opinion this is just a small price to pay...
really fascinating. I say, sell the fish into the kosher gefilte fish or just plain kosher fish markets.
Does anyone know the description and role they played in their native habitats???????????? Please I need help
In Thailand this fish to fry and very delicious pour the sauce.
Millions of tons of cargo or millions of tons of carp take your choice
send some of these carp over to england we love carp fishing!
Carp taste good if u cook it the right way, but I'm afraid it never could be on the menu of a western restraints. Export to Asia and try them in Chinese restaurants may be good solutions.
Actually, this is a bit strange to us (Asians), we eat this fish as we have been 'used to' with the taste, and these fishes aren't so common on rivers, in fact they are farmed and sold in good money..
Their eating habits aren't any worse than tilapia.
These are filter feeders only commercial fisherman catch them successfully, they are nothing like the carp you guys like, although they taste pretty good, trust me you don't want them.
Please Help us.
If US does not want the Carp, Can US immigrate all the Asian Carp to Laos( Mekong River in Southeast Asian)? Mekong River is 2 to 3 time bigger and longer then Miss River.
thank you
Us cambodians use them to make carp patties just like crab cakes they taste very good i dont think it would b a problem if americans would b more open to eating if they knew how to prepare them. I wouldnt mind taking some to fry. Theres so many to supply me for years.
The wabash river in Indiana has them also all the way from the ohio river all the way to Lafayette
EAT IT,,,,,IT A GIFT
Asian Carp is a delicious fish. It is farmed in South Asia much as tilapia or catfish is farmed in America. I do not know why American think badly about the fish tastewise.
The priority should be to get rid of the fish. It is tasty fish. Eat it till it vanishes.
People complain about invasive species, they can make a whole bunch of money selling them, then complain about running out of supply... make up your minds...Eat them, then move on to the next fish. People talk about other species of fish going extinct, then new ones taking over, just eat the new ones as they come about.
what do the asian carp eat? and have they endangered any animal??
Couldn't they be ground up for fertiliser?
You guys need to introduced the ultimate freshwater fish "The Arowana", which is the natural predator to Carps. to US Rivers. The ultimate carp eater ever. The next on the list is snakeheads, which is a good game fish (reel and rod breaker supreme)-- they are also another carp eaters. Pls Search Arowana on youtube.
im actually so jealous of them of having Asian carp. in my lake they are so few fish and so hard to catch I wouldn't mind having them in my lake so at least there some fish to catch . something is better than nothing am I right?
Kyun Lee “something is better than nothing” is not a good way of looking at this situation. Soon enough your lake won’t be the only one with Asian Carp in them in your area
what I do not understand is that this fish is considered a delicacy everywhere else, but Americans are "too picky" to eat them? Filet them and sell them at walmart for half the price of a cod or sol. I guarantee you people would buy them.
Picky or do you mean spoiled.
The reason budgets are being slashed is due to the unnecessary and unwarranted tax cuts and loopholes for the top 1% wealthiest Americans. If you want to eliminate this problem, raise the top tax rate back to an Eisenhower era 90%, then there will be more than enough funds to deal with this problem.
they do, look at the program.
they were put their in the 70's to stop another pest: algae
this is done in many countries, as thinking it is an 'eco-friendly' way to stop a pest, by putting an animal to solve it.
this however is a show why you should never use exotic animals, and if you do decide to do it, only use native animals.
is eating the asian carp an effective method?
This is a carp? Don't carps usually have larger scales? I think this is the chinese Lotus Fish that have a very different diet from carps.
Yes you're right they are the Lotis fish crazy Americans gave them the wrong name!!
Actually, both the silver carp and the bigmouth carp are from the Subfamily called Xenocyprinae. the subfamily for the common carp(cyprinus carpo) is Cyprinae. Though the name of both the silver carp and the Bighead carp are obviously related to the common carp, they aren't exactly true carp, due to their differences of their physical compositions.
Too many fish! The boat will either not be able to trawl the net or it will break.
How to eradicate those carp? Just bring in a dozen of Filipino fishermen and a steady supply of ice-cold beer.
The environment is constantly changing, all the species is constantly evolving. There is no such thing called "stable environment". We human just need to adapt to this changing environment. For example, make good use of the abundant Asian carp, instead of extinct them.
Guy at the end of the video
" it's clear erradication is no longer possible" really?? Come on
They did try to farm raise this specie of fish. This is what happened.
Wow. Moe from Kitchen Nightmares?
2:06 = Dan Henderson's long lost brother? They even sound the same....holy crap.
Now called Copi. Good eats
