There’s something fishy going on in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
Invasive Asian carp, imported to southern fish farms 15 years ago to stop the spread of algae, have ridden floodwaters into the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois rivers. Now, they’re on the verge of spilling into the Great Lakes.

They are a little off on time frame. The Big Head Carp, the major player of the invasive Carp, was introduced sometime in the early 1970's down in Arkansas. Causing problems along most of the Mississippi watershed. Kentucky and some other states are trying to develop a commercial fishing industry around the invasives, most of which are considered a delicacy in most of Asia.

They are apparently edible...maybe they should have them cleaned and turned over to a food bank?
