Any news about the Asian Carp is greatly appreciated. They can and will devastate any fishery where they become established. I was recently fishing oxbows along the lower Mississippi river which is close to the point of original infestation by the carp. I also talked to fisheries biologists and read reports from MS and AR. The sampling done in Tunica cutoff is especially descriptive as to the extent of damage done to native fish populations. Specific warnings are posted to advise boaters to avoid injury from carp flying through the air in lakes around Greenville, MS. We are fortunate to have waters which are free of these fish, and will be grateful if the scientists can find an effective means of controlling them.

I laughed out loud when I read that TVA lacked the funding to install a barrier
