Never fly. Fish in concrete...really
Wow, that is exciting news!
I wonder if it gets slimy when it rains? :Rofl
Hopefully they will still try to get rid of them and not keep them around for use in concrete though!
I don't see it catching on unless the added performance is worth the extra cost. Fly ash is basically free to obtain for concrete, power plants give it away, only cost with it is the hauling. Taking carp and burning them and then grinding into meal just doesn't sound like it would be any cheaper than the fly ash, unless there's some sort of subsidy to cover the processing.
You can read more about the specifics of it here: Product – Above Grade Environmental
Bassmaster did an article on it in Feb of last year: Carp-Crete – a fish-filled construction material | Bassmaster
Who knows, maybe it will work out.
Since the domestic market seems to favor the "tenderloins" of the carp, there is a lot of waste product that has to be rendered quickly. This might work with the waste products and put more of the carp into the commercial market for human consumption. I've ate it in more than a couple of ways of cooking. I've like it all.
True, but I believe fertilizer will remain the primary market for the waste products. I read the other day that there is legislation under consideration right now that would allow anyone who holds a KY fishing license to be able to sell any caught Asian Carp, which will be helpful as it would allow bow fishermen to now sell their catch to be used as fertilizer. There's also legislation that will allow commercial asian carp fishermen to run gear 7 days a week instead of 5 and includes new regulations on standardizing the markings of the deployed nets.Quote:
