Welcome to the CDC forum. You've come to the right place for all manner of interesting discussions... including but certainly not limited to trash fish control.
Hello everyone,
Well first I'd like to say it was really nice coming out last year and getting to attend the get together at Mike Miller park. I couldn't make it this year due to my daughter having a soccer game scheduled for the same day over in Metropolis but I'm sure you all can understand that.
I got on here tonight because I ran across an interesting article in the Farmers' Quarterly Fall Edition on page 17 titled "Potential Asian Carp deterrent to be tested below Barkley Dam". It says they are testing a sound and air bubble system (bio-acoustic fish fence) that could be installed below lock chambers to deter fish passage. The idea came from a company called Fish Guidance Systems, LTD. They are from the United Kingdom and use the system in Europe. The technology is called Bio-acoustic fish fence or (BAFF). The project is supposed to begin in early 2019. This will be the first time this approach has been used on Asian Carp. I looked for reddit forums about this but have not found anyone talking about it yet. Hopefully it will be effective in this overwhelming and seemingly never-ending battle against these fish so that our native fish can thrive again!
I'll be on here more in the future. Hope everyone stays safe and keeps on bringin' home slabs!

the KFW people gave a VERY GOOD talk about the carp at the shindig, very informative and included a lot of info in the bubble fence. They said if it works at the dam then the population of Asian Carp would drop as they need running water for about 15 miles and being behind a dam they wouldn't have enough flowing water to have a very good spawn.

I really wish that I could have been there for that discussion. I would like to see something as simple as sound be the key to get our lakes back under control. Thanks for sharing!
