They are there in huge numbers as far as I know and would eliminate a pile of potential fish getting through the 'Trial' barrier that is planned. The barrier if it works does not reduce the fish numbers, just keeps them away from an area based on what I read. We need to remove them, not scare them off.
The BAFF will keep them out of the lock, which is the goal of it. The Asian carp are getting into the lakes through the lock........you take that video above and imagine all those in the lock at one time. Keeping them out of the lock keeps them out of the lake.

Asian carp can't have a successful spawn without enough current, conditions haven't been right for a spawn in KY or Barkley since 2015.

Read the thread I put up last week. It's full of good info.
