Well, with the serious decline of some popular ocean species serving up the Asian carp may not be a bad idea. They taste good and have little mercury in them. They are also 'clean feeders', unlike some other carp species.In a book I am listening to it told the story of how Columbia dealt with the lionfish problem. They got the top chefs in the country to create recipes for using lionfish and the top end restaurants started serving it, then they got the Catholic Church in the country to push their members to eat it on Fridays. The end result was a large enough drop in the lionfish population it was no longer harming the local fish in the area.
Creative solutions.
That's Colombia and I have to wonder how Colombian fisherman could target the lionfish and how the government convinced them to handle a fish whose venom rivals that of a cobra in toxicity.In a book I am listening to it told the story of how Columbia dealt with the lionfish problem.

Get rid of the agencies, let locals deal with it.I have done extensive research on this subject and have come to this conclusion. Everyone, including all of the environmental agencies, like to see them jump. They get a kick out of it and don't want to see it to end.
That's all.

So the EPA introduced them.The EPA financed experiments using carp to control algae in wastewater treatment plants. It was the locals who allowed the carp to escape into open waters.
The government won't allow 'locals' to deal with it. They maintain sole authority. This is actually a job for Donald Trump. He'll cut through the red tape and get the job done.Get rid of the agencies, let locals deal with it.
The agencies are continually releasing non native species into our water, air and on public lands.
I've been calling to dismantle the agencies for decades. Fu k the government, if the locals would deny them jurisdiction that would be it.The government won't allow 'locals' to deal with it.

This does not support your claim that eating them had put a dent in their population.Here is a story about it from their local news source
Colombia eats its way out of a lionfish crisis | The City Paper Bogotá
With invasive lionfish taking over Caribbean waters, the only realistic solution is a delicious one — eat them.
Actually, I don't think invasive species are protected by the state, DNR, EPA, or other agencies. Locals are free to remove them at will...so where is that will?I've been calling to dismantle the agencies for decades. Fu k the government, if the locals would deny them jurisdiction that would be it.
Libs in Florida live capture pythons instead of killing themInvasive species are almost always very difficult to eliminate. Look at the python problem in Florida, that is a huge ecological problem.
I didn't say they were.Actually, I don't think invasive species are protected by the state, DNR, EPA, or other agencies. Locals are free to remove them at will...so where is that will?
They've eaten just about everything in the Everglades, now they're spreading beyond, looking for a new food supply (which of course means pets and small children).Libs in Florida live capture pythons instead of killing them
How stupid is that?
I have no idea why.Jes' sayin'.
You can't explain it, it isn't a logical comment and has zero relevance to anything I said.I don't have the energy to 'splain it to you.
What do you mean by "the agencies"?So the EPA introduced them.
Defund the agencies.
This does not support your claim that eating them had put a dent in their population.
From your article:
It is hard to say how much of a dent humans are making. There are so many lionfish out there and they breed so quickly that even maintaining current population levels is an accomplishment. So it’s up to our appetites to make any progress in the battle. In order to defeat the lionfish, people will need to start acting more like them.And I see they are not catching them with hook but spears. I applaud the selectivity but I think it's extremely unlikely they will ever check their growth through such a method. Their arent't enough spear fisherman on the planet.
Usda, deq, fbi, Cia, irs, dhs, atf, blm, doe ...don't you know what an agency is?What do you mean by "the agencies"?
