Re: How do we rid U.S. waters of Asian carp and Northern Snakeheads???
Man-made and natural disasters occur everyday in parts of the country where it should be impossible for them to take place. Here in the mid-west, we've had 2 "100 year floods" in less than 20 years. Earthquakes and floods are just two things that effect moving these fish from one waterway to another, and sometimes, fishermen and boaters, provide the transportation to move these fish.
The only way to get rid of them is to actively remove them - electroshock, bow hunting, bounties, are just some of the ways to reduce there numbers. I don't think the population of snakeheads will just go away because we'd like them to. Maybe after these fish get more established, and a few jet skier's get bit, they'll decide to take action - but, until then, they will become more adapted to their new home waters and destroy more of the fishery.
