Carp Herpes -Possible Biocontrol

[Johnsfolly]

As much as these fish may need to be controlled, I'm not a fan of targetted release of a viral biocontrol agent.

Look at the last big viral release to try and control something, Covid.

Let nature run its course.

Doesn’t work on Asian carp….just commons/koi….LMB virus jumped from another species…..bio controls can have unintended consequences….ask Australians

Really hope that they think about this and don't do it.

This is how it begins.....

Typical group of douchebag biologists that are anxious to justify their phoney baloney jobs.    🤬

HMM! Carp were released to give more food which I  still catch for food. 

This is Common Carp. Use to see them in Grocery Stores.
