Gar/pike/bass and welsh catfish will do the job fast, in Europe we got opposite problem with predators like catfish and pikes, everyone want to fish for carp and they destroying carp population.
There are retired salmon seiners in Alaska that could be purchased for little, transported to this lake and could catch this many fish in 45 minutes. A few sets per year in each lake would help keep these carp cleaned up at a reasonable cost.
That's a good point. However, I wonder if the cost of driving/freighting the boat across land would, on top of maintenance repairs on old boats, would outweigh the benefits
Invasive carp were originally imported from Southeast Asia to the southern United States to help aquaculture and wastewater treatment facilities keep retention ponds clean. Flooding and accidental releases allowed these fish to escape into the Mississippi River system and migrate into the Missouri and Illinois rivers. The Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers are all connected and therefore fish swim freely between them. The Illinois River is also connected to the Great Lakes by a manmade connection, known as the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
@@BobbyOfEarth yes and it works, although marginally when you consider the thousands (millions?) of carp that are living, breeding and decimating that whole multi river system. They may never catch up with this issue. Not at all unlike all the non native snakes in the everglades. It is a gross understatement to say that they are trying to keep the carp from becoming overpopulated. The Carp already are by a significant factor. Being non native 2 is being overpopulated in reality.
That is actually genius. They have a bunch of bones that make them hard to prepare them for our consumption, but cats don't care. It would make for a high protein cat food that's cheap as all shit.
Serious cat food. Fish emulsion is great in the garden. Shoot I’m sure there’s a way to fish stick-i-lize em heard there boney but good eatin will get this figured out. Can’t beat em use em haha
@@illinidave the Carp came to USA because someone introduce them to eat up algae in a lake and they got away after a flood in the early 20th century You actually stole the carp from Asia
Agree, isn't the biomass fish protein alone worth mega dollars? It has to be, create a new industry, fish the hell out of it and have a double effect; reduce the carp and pocket some serious money in the affected States.
Andrew Zimmern from the show ''Bizarre Food'' said the same about this fish. With food insecurity going ever higher in the states and around the world, this fish could help immensely in the fight against world hunger.
I snag for them at Alton IL, when I go over there to fish. They taste like crap and there are hundreds of bones in them. Only the big ones yield any sizable meat. I've seen 75 pounders snagged, and heard of 90-100 pounders being caught. They're a shit fish and ugly as hell. But a lot of fun to snag.
@@bgdesignandsolutions Damn, sounds like you don't know how to cook them. The east has eaten them for hundreds of years at least. People who only eat fried fish with easy, boneless fillets are missing out.
I heard about a great carp recipe. Cook carp with butter, salt, pepper and lemon on a cedar shingle at 350° for 35 min. When fish done, throw away and eat shingle.
I recently tried it and was very surprised how good they tast. In fact I won't be throwing them back any longer them dudes are going home w me from now on and eaten. I was surprised how they were not fishy tasting at all. Now looking into canning them I have heard via UA-cam they can well much like salmon. Nothing like having my pantry full of 100% protein for free. I hear it's really good just on a craker.... cooking ... pan medium heat olive oil, butter, spice, 3 minutes each side until cooked throughly.... meat slides off the bone easy w a fork.
We are about to under go an extreme fertilizer shortage over the next year. These carp make very good fertilizer if processed as such? So, get business to take advantage of it and they should make away with these fish in short order.
Less a shortage and more of an equalization. Too much fertilizer is bad as it encourages the growing of algaes and other things that love nitrates. This removal will help keep those things down and help these ecosystems.
I live in Illinois 10 years ago I told business in and around Kentucky lake they had a Asian carp problem they denied and ignored me now look what they got Ben going there with my party for 50 years no reason to go any more with all those carp
This looks more like a commercial harvesting technique than an invasive species management technique. Everywhere in the lake where the nets are not, the fish are thriving. That includes the main body of KY Lake. I don't know how you'd do that, considering the barge traffic.
There is a plant that flash freeze it and sell them to Asia. Because the carp is wild fish instead of fish farms. It gets attention despite being frozen over fresh fish. The fish is ate all the way from Poland to East Asia
I'd love to have been in the meeting where they picked the name "modified unified method" - I bet they were laughing like there were stoned - knowing that people would have to say "modified unified method" thousands and thousands of times - and write it in emails and newsletters .... good times 🤣🤣🤣💀💀
Are they doing damaging amounts of removal of ANY local/native species? Buffalo specifically? Are the numbers taken beyond what is protected? How knowledgable are you in this field?
These Asian "Carp" aren't really related to those found in Australia, which were imported from europe back in the day. This fish doesn't compare to those on the table too; they're delicious eating. It's mild, white flesh is sweeter than tilapia, cleaner tasting than catfish and less flaky than cod.
I’ve eaten grass carp.. it’s some of the best eating fish I’ve ever tasted, especially if you don’t mind some bones!! White flaky meat that is literally fall off the bone!! To me, grass carp tastes like pollock which is what ur fish o filets from McDonald’s are made of!!
These fish would be clean easily if those states wasn't so hard head on being doing their way.. there was business offers but none went through due to certain factors. These fish taste great just that for the American, they preferred less boney fish. Like they said, a fruit that is nutritionist always thorny.
Its annoying to have to put up with unrelated useless talk and taking over 7 minutes to explain a relatively simply process of using nets to concentrate masses of these problematic Asian carp for removal. Only goes to say making (and wasting your time) trying to be "intelligent" when it can be explained in less than a minute
why not weld some aluminum poles onto a boat, one on each side and hook a big net to them, Trail close behind another boat and they would jump right into your nets. That way you stop impacting other fish species.
Good luck getting rid of those fish the Asian carp . If those get into the great lakes they will devastate our commercial fishing industry and sporting and fishing industry.
Looked up AUSTRALIA for help European carp infestation 1980s to 2010 basically on top of it next the Cane toad along with foxes & rabbits boar and other wild animals that roam the deserts who breed up in plagues when the wet season comes . 20 years work to reduced invasions . surrounding islands also rabbits rats foxes
Carp is crap as food because the bone structure is completely different from other fish. The are long curvy bones embedded in the flesh and one can easily choke on them while eating. Destroy them.
Because of intentional introduction by people who don't care about native species down south. They were "farming" in Southern US for the Asian population in those areas and the fish escaped during a hurricane. Since then they been slowly working their way up the Mississippi River system.
nvasive carp were originally imported from Southeast Asia to the southern United States to help aquaculture and wastewater treatment facilities keep retention ponds clean.

The Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers are all connected and therefore fish swim freely between them. The Illinois River is also connected to the Great Lakes by a manmade connection, known as the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
Because in China people eat them, usually when they are under 1 year old, because they have strong mud flavour when they get older and bigger. they also have enemies in the wild called snakehead fish (乌鱼) eat their eggs and young carps.
Hahah, and Blue states are totally okay. Look no further than the federal government if you want to blame someone for our destroyed ecosystems. Stupid soft lefties releasing pets into the wild,.lefties breeding geese in the USA creating millions of no migratory animals. Etc. But no let's just ban conservative views. Let's go Brandon .
Asian carp problem has very little to do with mother nature,more human intervention and stupidity,over population has affected Australia more than weather,we've always had storms,floods,fire and drought. I'm only 51 but I've seen plenty of heat,cold and all the rest,but carp in our dams was not a natural occurrence
Support the Gar population and it will reduce the carp problem.
not fast enough to make a dent in these things they populate like rats

That only works when you don’t have snags in the water. The waters of the Mississippi River basin are full of tree falls and other snags.
That's a good point. However, I wonder if the cost of driving/freighting the boat across land would, on top of maintenance repairs on old boats, would outweigh the benefits
Because it’s all about the money!!!
@@acriley87 underwater chainsaws.
they would catch good fish also

Then how will they take your money and make billions ?
They can easily feed people and schools for free. But they won’t
Makes sense to me
Seems like a great business opportunity and a cheap resource to feed the population.
It is rare to see large Asian carp in southeast Asia, because we ate them to near extinction btw.
Sounds like a business opportunity
Great I wish you would have kept the damn things over there
You are all more than welcome to do the same here
@@illinidave the Carp came to USA because someone introduce them to eat up algae in a lake and they got away after a flood in the early 20th century
You actually stole the carp from Asia
Just like most of all the other fish too...
Amazing technique. As a sain fisherman from the Gulf of Mexico and a native fish fisherman, I was wondering how you protect the native fish.
5:45
Fertilizer (there's a shortage doncha know) and food.
Agree, isn't the biomass fish protein alone worth mega dollars? It has to be, create a new industry, fish the hell out of it and have a double effect; reduce the carp and pocket some serious money in the affected States.
Alot of good information here if these carp are in your nearby waters.
Very cool ! Good job.

looks like a real good source of food. a name change might help people accept it as food.

Organic fertilizer, grind em up

One problem is these things have to be on ice in minutes of they stink so bad a cat won't eat them
After all that, you never actually see them being pulled out of the water.
I'm assuming they are either harvested off screen or left to die. Probably the former.
Algorithm nailed it.
Never knew this.
🤦🏻♂️
Thanks Algorithm!
Odd that you mentioned processing the fish but never said into what? Cat food? Fertilizer? Filet o fish sandwiches?
I heard about a great carp recipe. Cook carp with butter, salt, pepper and lemon on a cedar shingle at 350° for 35 min. When fish done, throw away and eat shingle.
You guys are just idiots. That's why you can't even get rid of a delicious food fish.
How are the fish disposed of?
Can you use em for chicken feed or cat food or something?
its just regular fish..edible ..i cant understand all the fuzz..
Purina uses these guys for its Rootlabs dog food. My dog loves it.
It would be wonderful to use these fish for food. I know they’re not a delicacy, but I’m sure they’re edible.
Meow Mix
They are a delicacy in Asia and are overfished. Americans have no idea how wasteful they are.
OK for stew or pies.
They taste good ,but have bones.

Pickled asian carp is amazing tasting fish and pickling it eliminates the bone issue.
Use the catch as a bye product for farming methods if no likes the taste. There must be plenty of uses.
I went down the Illinois River with a buddy in his boat, about 2000. Carp was jumping in the boat. Weird shit...
I live in Illinois 10 years ago I told business in and around Kentucky lake they had a Asian carp problem they denied and ignored me now look what they got Ben going there with my party for 50 years no reason to go any more with all those carp

What do you do with them when you catch them?
Cat food
kill them and send them to make fertilizer

The fish is ate all the way from Poland to East Asia
What kind of a question is that? They're delicious
Can someone tell me about the speakers used to startle fish ? Brand & type please
It seems like a good food source.
What's the problem.
its called the bighead carp and they are being farmed where i came from..they end up being processed into fishballs.
That entire species of carp is invasive. They're removal/deaths will be better for everything.
I'd love to have been in the meeting where they picked the name "modified unified method" - I bet they were laughing like there were stoned - knowing that people would have to say "modified unified method" thousands and thousands of times - and write it in emails and newsletters .... good times 🤣🤣🤣💀💀
Hopefully other states start doing this to their waters
Have they got into great lakes
Buffalo may be a rough fish, but they’re still protected in many waters
Are they doing damaging amounts of removal of ANY local/native species? Buffalo specifically? Are the numbers taken beyond what is protected? How knowledgable are you in this field?
Why not push the Carp into the last net which is a Purse Seine? Then just lift the net and Carp out of the water?
They look heaps nicer then the golden and mirror carp we have here in Australia.

This could be huge pet food and bait industry (catfish) in the US. Hopefully it can reduce numbers along the way.
The crab fish industry should get them for bait.
2:40 well that wake their asses up lmao

Dog food and fish emulsion fertilizer easy.
Not everyone has the attention span of a carp and some like more fluffy visuals to go with the information. To each their own.
Carp are good canned in quart jars better than salmon.

I'm sure that time could have been used oh so fruitfully watching cat videos instead.
They created the problem, so they'll dance around the solution..
Thanks for saving me the time. I quit starting to watch the video.
What’s annoying is someone who doesn’t have the patience to learn the background of why Carp need to be removed.
Thanks it kept me from the long winded banter👍
Just called it American carp and the carp can stayed lol
How much by catch its money catch them find was to sell them sell them for lobster bait or sell good part for food and waste for lobster bait
And in English Mike.
You can feed the fish to the chicken, Kentucky chicken
Why couldn't they have been Asian Hallibut ...oooo or Asian white sea bass.
Grind them up and make cat food
They make excellent animal feed.
Outstanding!
Sell back to Japan which has a market for Carp
Army just started using electric fences

Great work folks and in the right direction learning how to stop this plague of fish. Now if we can just fight against the electric truck
Just put some big catfish and some pikes/bass in the lake and population of asian carp will drop for 5 years max.
and kids, this is why you do not put your finger in the outlet
Catch them and grind them into fertilizer. Screw eating them.
These carp will win!
Does Ron like to wear makeup?
Catch them and add them to fertilizer. Hell they just jump in the boat.
Those eyes...
They should be called Derpaderp fish.
Or mayor of Chicago.
Good luck getting rid of those fish the Asian carp . If those get into the great lakes they will devastate our commercial fishing industry and sporting and fishing industry.
Just sell it India and Bangladesh,
these fish tast great!

🤔why can't we train some otters or seals .. they oughta make a dent💪🇩🇴
all it takes is 1 get away
To bad they are not selling these in grocery stores.
It'll never work UNLESS every other state does it as well....and at the same time.
Carp is crap as food because the bone structure is completely different from other fish. The are long curvy bones embedded in the flesh and one can easily choke on them while eating. Destroy them.
Ship them and sell them back to asia.$$
Take the waste and sell it to lobster fisherman or crab
good idea..even give it free (charge just transport cost)..
Bait is big money you could make some . 2 bushel bait was like 120 bucks 1 fish tray full
Can't get herring enough so using pogies . Them fish be new deal and save on herring stock .
Take the government outta the picture an let the people do it. Government screws every thing up .
How many lakes in British Columbia are infected by introducing forgien fish species...ASK THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT....THEY ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE
Why a re they in our lakes
Because of intentional introduction by people who don't care about native species down south. They were "farming" in Southern US for the Asian population in those areas and the fish escaped during a hurricane. Since then they been slowly working their way up the Mississippi River system.

The concern is how to avoid the endemic species.😒
They addressed that in the video. The native fish react differently and therefore aren’t driven into the nets like the mindless carp
Cat food is getting too expensive. Mind if I stop by ?
Can you find out why these carps not a problem in the Chinese water system?
Because that's they're Native Habitat. They evolved in the ecosystem and have they're place in it, unlike in our Rivers/Lake.
Theu eat them. We dont.
@@riversideangler120you want Rena
No to,,
There not from here .just like every Race that's not native Americans. They destroy the natural order of life
Because in China people eat them, usually when they are under 1 year old, because they have strong mud flavour when they get older and bigger. they also have enemies in the wild called snakehead fish (乌鱼) eat their eggs and young carps.
I suggest a Change to the name SEINE Zone
Tons of biomass for whatever!
There's an easier way than that . I know how to fill boats up and never touch a fish.
Do you know a way to get them from the lake straight to my plate already cooked?
LOL okay Terry we believe you
Wait till they infest the Great Lakes. I hope I’m dead by then, my heart would break.
Change the name that will take care of it!
if they can not have new babys, they will be gone.
I have caught them in Ohio river they aren’t too bad yet but sure they will be.
INSEINE ZONE because of all the chaos there.

Why are these fish not in the grocery stores for humans to eat this is a waste of fish 😒
Solution for it bring fish predator from Amazon so Asian carp they can't increase their population.
Land on Sight!
Just pump all the water out and pick the fish up into wheelbarrows. Duh.
America take cancel culture to another level 😂
