haha, they could indeed happen, but if they are as pervasive as publicized wouldn’t it take a while to get to the point where it makes more sense to breed them

haha, they could indeed happen, but if they are as pervasive as publicized wouldn’t it take a while to get to the point where it makes more sense to breed them instead of just catching them in the wild?
maybe it’s best to just give someone the job and pay them a salary? I still don’t like relying on people getting an appetite for copi as the solution.
- Caligatio 4y agoI sadly forgot where I read about it (maybe "Under a White Sky" by Elizabeth Kolbert) but the States do already pay people to mass-cull these Asian carp by the literal ton (found https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/7362/827782934 https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/7362/827782934 specifically about this point). It's crazy what extremes governments are going to try to contain these fish - to include generating an electric field in rivers that selectively kills fish over a certain size (i.e. Asian carp).
