It always struck me as strange that just when the Loy's were really putting a smack down on the carp at Utah Lake, their biggest market dried up. It is also funny that they were supplanted by carp from China ( yes they shipped em from China to the West Coast ) which had higher levels of toxic heavy metals, although the PCB level was lower !! Never could figure that one out. Some of the Winter pictures of the operation are classic, especially the ones showing the Bald and Golden Eagles sitting on the ice picking up carp that fell off the cart as they were being transported off the ice to shore.
The science behind the removal was pretty established and I am surprised that they discontinued the project before they accomplished their goal !! Ah, maybe the "dredging boys" have a solution !!!
I don't think the "island folk" have Utah Lake's best interests at heart. They are just looking for a way to profit by selling someone else's land...from the bottom of the lake. I doubt they have any concerns about the welfare of the carp...or any other species.
