couldn't you rev up he electric fences? If they get into the great lakes then so much for salmon and trout fishing in ten years
Northern Snakeheads Found in Delaware Pond

And heres another thing that bothers me. Just because the Snakeheads/Asian Carp will be impossible to completely kill off, it does NOT mean we should stop trying. If anything, we should at least strive to control their populations. If we just forget about them, they will rapidly multiply. No doubt about it. Failure doesn't come from trying, it comes from lack of trying.
There is huge difference between snakehead in New York pond and the Asian carps in whole river systems. It;s impossible to poison fish in a huge river system which can involved in few states...like Mississippi Rivers and other major rivers.
Salmon and most trout species are not native to Great Lakes and so are countless invasive species living in already-messed up Great Lakes.
Actually the failure don't come from lack of trying, as we have been trying to manage the invasive species for many years. Every culling methods have failed us. Poisoning fishes of the Great Lakes or the larger major rivers would be impossible. The only way to put a stop on these invasive is just seal off rivers to prevent them from invading into new areas. We should be concerning about Asian carps, not snakeheads or pacus.
your wrong the problem is people releaseing the fish in the wild. And cargo ships not emptying there balasats somewhere else
Asian carp were not released by people into the wild. A few years back, a man imported some to keep down the algae in his pond. Later on, a hurricane came and these fish escaped into other waterways.
