Post #96 - June 26th, 2010, 8:57 amDurbin asks Obama to appoint carp czar"We need to have one person who coordinates the efforts of the federal, state and local agencies that are doing everything they can to keep the Asian carp out of Lake Michigan," Durbin said during a news conference at the Shedd Aquarium. "We believe it's absolutely essential."
...
Durbin said scientists will try to determine where the carp came from, whether it was likely dumped there or whether it reached the lake by swimming up the Chicago water system. That's a critical question as biologists try to figure out how many Asian carp may be lurking below the water's surface.
Durbin said he plans to introduce a bill next week that will ask the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to look at "hydrologic separation" between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, a potentially massive engineering feat that would require severing the 100-year-old, man-made shipping corridors that now link the two waterways. Durbin expects the Army Corps to deliver its report within 18 months.Cathy2

looks like the filming for this has been postponed due to the river water level being high. Too bad it would have been interesting to see.

Post #100 - January 19th, 2011, 11:10 amIt's now a movement: be an Invasivore!
Articles:
Re-Nest: "Sustainable Diets: Invasivores take the stage"
New York Times: "A Diet for an Invaded Planet: Invasive Species" [i]In that article, some folks are calling Asian Carp "Kentucky Tuna" -- I say we need to counter with "Calumet Monkfish"

Post #102 - January 26th, 2011, 10:47 amFrom today's Minneapolis Star Tribune:
""Have the waiter tell them they are popular in Europe and Asia and were called the fish of kings," said Russo. You could also use guilt-- save our rivers, eat carp."
Looks like Western WI may have what you're looking for...

Post #104 - August 27th, 2011, 12:43 pmVideo of Bowfishing for Asian Carp
What is surprising is the frequency these Asian Carps are flying out of the water. I am guessing this may be the Illinois River.
Listening a little more, they advised they were in Henry, Illinois. That pretty much confirms they are on the Illinois River.
Next video is eating Asian Carp.

Surprising, indeed. The fish are a bona fide hazard. One of the boats has fish netting up to keep the occupants safe.Cathy2 wrote:Video of Bowfishing for Asian Carp

This looks like the outfit that runs that tour:

It mentions that they typically begin at Starved Rock State park.

Post #108 - November 12th, 2011, 6:23 pmSo other than Lockwood, has any local restaurant been serving Asian Carp? I'd think atleast one chinese restaurant would have it, if it's a delicacy in China.
