America's Most Hated Fish Are Being Purged By Electric Shocks and Sound

America can't eat its way out of this problem.
The U.S. War on Asian Carp just leveled up. Although the Carpocalypse may never end, a recent weapon could be the best shot at controlling silver and bighead carp populations. The new approach called the "Modified Unified Method" takes a traditional Chinese netting technique and modifies it by adding annoying underwater sounds and electric currents to annoy the carp and drive them into a very small area for harvesting. It ends up removing around 90% of fish from a body of water.

They're Australia's most hated fish, too. Interestingly, a recent severe drought in Australia's largest river catchment, the Murray Darling Basin, led to the rivers drying up into stagnant pools that became quite saline over time. The native fish species survived just fine (they were adapted to it), but the carp died off in massive kills. Nature has a way of sorting itself out.

[@dafleaz]

Temporarily. As long as a few carp survived and the rains returned, so will the carp.

[@ohlordy2042]

@@dafleaz That's true. However, there has also been a concerted effort to restock native fish species with "fingerlings"....i.e. baby fish. A major reason carp were able to take over the waterways in the first place was because they tended to feed on native fish eggs, so native fish reproduction declined markedly. By breeding fish in farms and then reintroducing the fingerlings into the waterways en-masse, the vulnerable point in the native species life cycle is bypassed. What's more, the story had been reversed and native fish are now feeding on carp eggs and preventing carp reproduction. I'm reliability informed (by friends who are scientists in the first) that achieving a certain, minimum population density of native fish AND minimum ratio between native fish species and carp is key to out competing carp and ensuring their terminal decline. Let's hope they've got their research correct.

Not always though, like in the Florida Everglades. Often times bringing in an outside species just destroys the habitat.

One of my fishing buddies is from Germany. His father came out fishing with us, and after one of us caught a big head carp, and was going to simply discard it, he wanted to keep it, saying it just needs to be cooked correctly. He smoked the carp for 3 hours. It was delicious. It had a fishy taste, but the texture and consistency of ham. Since then, we have had smoked carp several times. I also had some boiled carp that wasnt too bad. However, I have also tried carp that came out terrible.

[@HauTran-sunfromsouth]

Western don’t know to cook fish & river fish. 1) clean fish then use little vinegar pouring in fish for 5-10min, then rise it. 2) if they don’t like bone then fillet cutting & throwing bone away. 3) FRIEDS FISH, throwing some ginger slice in HOT BOILING OIL THEN FRIES FISH. It will smell good & less fishy. 3) if they’re not fried fish, make fish soups or cooked with others ingredients. Just chop the fish & add fews vinegar then rose it. ADD CHOPPED GINGER FIR 5mins, then cooking whatever style dish, it help curse fishy taste. Or FISH WITH SOY SAUCE, it yummy & add some herb as green onion, garlic & cumin seeds!!

I thought it was the flavor--a little muddy. I don't mind bones so much. Fresh fish is really expensive even though I live near the west coast. Salmon season shut down about 15 years ago, so we can't get that anymore. Even salmon has a few bones. Safe handling and processing of the fish seems the most important. Freshness keeping and deboning techniques. They can make pet food and fake crab out of it if they can get the bones out. Smoking the fish like Asians do also seems like a good plan. Smoking is amazing. I am further butchering up my covid Turkey raw this year and freezing parts and having a breast for Thanksgiving. I smoky BBQ the drumsticks and then cook in broth/water in the an Instant Pot/pressure cooker and eat with white beans and kale. So good. Smoke BBQ is amazing. They need to get foodies involved and have a cooking contest. A fish smoking contest? ( They have a giant banana slug cooking contest on Russian River. Although I have to say, banana slug sales have never taken off.) Also engineers for machines that remove bones.

Absolutely by no mean of offending, but we Asians tend to be less picky when it comes to eating. Our ancestors ate boiled grains with vegetables. Meats were precious. We eat every other kind of food with rice/noodles not because our ancestors thought it's delicious, but just to increase the volume. I'm 38 and when I was a kid, teachers would say that we never eat meat without rice and we should be mindful of how to ration the food. Of course today we all have plenty of international food but carbohydrate from rice still helps balancing out the daily intake of protein and choresterol. When I first learned that westerners eat meat alone I thought "wow they're so superior". So that "Americans don't like fish with bones" came out like an ungrateful spoiled brat. It's free food. And there's plenty of them. Fish of that size would cost quite considerably anywhere else. I mean, I'd get it if it's because of the taste. But nope, just merely inconvenience.
