I wonder if scientist could come up with very selective poisons that could take out those ugle looking carp and the quagga mussles, although they would be hard to target.

I'm told the Carpa are a garbage fish that you really can't or don't want to eat.

It depends. I'm not sure about Asian carp but I've had carp that was deeeeeelicious. You just have to be VERY careful when you clean 'em. If you even barely nick the mudline, the meat becomes garbage.

Don't these have mussles have some natural enemies that can eat can be introduced to feed on them?
