Hundreds of Fish Jump Out of the Water After Being Temporarily Shocked
Kentucky is going forward with using electrofishing to monitor and capture Asian carp, one of the most dangerous species of fish.
The men onboard the boat captured the fish with nets in the video, and piled them on top of each other as the electrical currents continued to send the fish in the water shooting in the air. “It’s just to give folks an idea of how many fish we’re dealing with below the dam. We collect and try to distribute to them to buyers,” Ron Brooks, the department’s fisheries division director, told CNN.Brooks added that the caught fish were taken to buyers who make fertilizer, fish bait and food products for humans. Before being sold, the fish are stunned and harvested.
Asian carp can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and spread into new habitats quickly, the website states. They are also capable of jumping over low dams, and have spread into countless bodies of water due to flooding.Scientific American adds that the federal government’s Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force considers Asian cap to be a “nuisance species” and encourages intervention by the government to attempt to stop the species from spreading to the Great Lakes.
