Brian Todd of the Missouri Department of Conservation said the big head carp and silver carp were brought to private fish hatcheries from Asia by the aquaculture industry.

How come its always their exports that overwhelm ours?

Just once I'd like to hear that North American buffalo are driving the Chinese Ox to verge of extinction, or loan sharks from Detroit are driving New Dehli's pawn brokers out of business.

Their exports must be the street-toughs and riffraff of the animal kingdom. Genteel animals don't stand a chance. :-)

I am a fisheries biologist working with methods to control Asian carp. I wanted to point out that it lots of our animals ARE problems overseas. Bullfrogs have made it across the pond, and are eating up European frogs as fast as they can gobble them down. Largemouth bass are a big problem in China (they are upset that they are eating up their carp!) Snapping turtles are also getting to be a problem in Europe. That's just a beginning. There are lots more animals from the US that are kicking butt in foreign countries.
