The cleanup of the dead/dying carp would be a very expensive project, not to mention that the carcasses may only be good for disposal & not fit for even using them for fertilizer ... not to mention they'd no longer be usable for pet food, much less for human consumption. Remember ... we're not just talking about "millions" of carp, we're talking about millions of TONS of carp.
    In large open areas, skimmer nets could get those that are floaters. As for what to do with the fish, I'm sure hoping they could dry them out, grind them up and use them for cattle feed, pet food, or just fertilizer.
