Re: How do we rid U.S. waters of Asian carp and Northern Snakeheads???
The cooperative at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va supports none of what Brian_Va states regarding the snakeheads current existance in the tidal ecosystem. They have contain themselves and are not being contained by the artifical boundaries of Great falls or salt water as Brian-Va contains. Its a logical arguement but not supported by those studying the increased tidal density of the snakehead population which has tripled its grounds or habitat in the Potmac River system in less than two years. The more they reproduce the less source of feed their will be to sustain such a population and they will like all predators move into new waters whatever way possoble. Rumors have it the reason why BASS has not scheduled a major Elite event over this year or next two years is precisely the issue of the snakehead and the requirement of killing them upon catch. Wouldn't that be great on ESPN to see, Elite fisherman killing fish on board. Losing these tourneys will force places like La Plata who will feel the economic impact demand action. IT may take some time but it will come as citizens and business in these areas will suffer without these lucrative tourny trail draws.
