A bill, H.R. 51 (download here), was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that would require the Fish and Wildlife Service to study the impacts of harvesting asian carp in the Great Lakes.
The bill's purpose is:
To direct the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct a study of the feasibility of a variety of approaches to eradicating Asian carp from the Great Lakes and their tributary and connecting waters.
Between electrified fences, posted here, and now harvesting, the federal and several state governments are exploring all options to eradicate this potent threat to the Great Lakes ecosystem.
