They said it was "gas bubbles". When they generate power it puts a lot of oxygen in the water and they are saying the carp can't get rid of the bubbles fast enough and it kills them. I am not sure I really believe it.
I think the silver carp were affected much more than the bigheads. Kill 'em all!!
I have lived thru a coupla Wiskers "gas bubbles" ...
I may give a few of them fiberglass poisoning after while.
Jim Doom guides below those dams. He said that they came from the lake and went through the turbines because they were tore up pretty bad......:dono
Your right I don't believe it either.Quote:
