The invasive Asian carp, once introduced as a solution, is now disrupting native fish species and shrinking their populations across rivers, streams, and lakes along the Mississippi River Basin. Join Shane as he visits a safeguarded battlefront in a laboratory, gears up for an exhilarating fishing tournament, and chows down on a gourmet delicacy.
Through these escapades, he learns the different ways that people are combatting the invasive carp problem. We discover how innovative solutions – whether it’s gamified, walled in, or fried up – are emerging in the conundrum against this invasive aquatic intruder.
