These things were known about long before “this summer”...this past summer, I saw an IMAX movie at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, about prehistoric sea creatures...and this critter was one of the stars of the movie! Great film....if you get a chance to go to the Smithsonian, and that film is still running, be certain to view it. Nothing like sea monsters in 3-D!

How come if it’s something like crappie or bass, overfishing can cause danger of extinction, but we can’t “overfish” these carp all the way out of the picture?

They are edible, aren’t they?

Yes, the info that I read indicates they are edible. The flesh is white as opposed to the more familiar, and less desirable, common carp which has darker flesh and stronger taste. The Asian bighead carp apparently has a delicious flavor, but also has “Y” bones.

This site: http://mdc.mo.gov/conmag/2004/07/20.htm has some good information about the Asian Bighead Carp including how it got started in the U.S. and how to clean and debone it.
