Purdue University has been trying to come up with a way to control Asian Carp. They published a report that electric barriers worked but would kill everything in the water including shocking humans. They have been studying parasites and viruses that can effect Asian Carp, and find Asian Carp don’t have many if any parasites that affect their mortality as well as viruses except that herpes virus and are working in a variant of it but with no success for specifically targeting Asian Carp only. Not a lot of options out there as of yet but a lot of plans in the works on above read and various ways being used. But a lot of organizations concerned and working on the Asian Carp problem. U of Ill. Is working hard on solutions also.
That's great to know funding is going to a search for solutions! Thanks for sharing.
