If the carp make it (through the Chicago aquaduct) into the Great Lakes and tributaries that they connect to, there could be Asian carp all the way up to Whitehorse! And they will wipe out many of the native species as they progress.
It's already too late, years too late.
Its too late for the US, but Northern and Western Canada might still be saved.
Of course, if these fish could be genetically engineered to create a mild euphoria when eaten, they wouldn't stand a chance.
The Asian carp are just immigrants looking to live the American and Canadian dream!
Badly, mind you ....
Back in the day, cotton spinning mills would put them in the lodges ( large enclosed man made ponds for cooling water exiting from the steam engines) to clear the weeds. They would eventually clear the weeds and then starve to death. The local kids would have a good time fishing.
