Can’t they just put up a physical barrier. Like a net. Where are these critters?

Grew up on Lake Michigan. Get there in the morning in the 60’s and the beach was covered with dead fish. Whipping your siblings with dead fish was a source on entertainment. And a source of anger for my mom.

We survived.

Well, Illinois and Michigan are investigating things like aquatic electric fences and water fans to push them back at the channels and locks...However these fish can jump 8 to 10 feet, so they are moving into new territories all the time...coupled with fact that they breed quickly and prolifically like roaches, they overcome their habitat and natural predators cannot keep the population down.

My spouse had one smack in shoulder—it hurt as the carp can get quite large.

They really are a menace and a regional group effort needs to be coordinated to eradicate them before they decimate the fishing and tourist industries of all The Great Lakes.
