Kentucky is using 'shocking' boats to show just how bad its Asian carp problem is - CNN
(CNN)Asian carp are a serious problem, and Kentucky is getting creative in dealing with the invasive species.
To show how bad the issue is, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources used "shocking" boats to stun the carp so they'd float to the surface and could be collected and measured. Video shows countless fish leaping after the boat sent an electrical current through the water at Barkley Dam on Tuesday.
==================================================
I hope this doesn't give some sports & commercial fishermen the idea of using the same technology on non-invasive fish species.
