[cool][#0000ff]I think "commercial" is a confusing term too. In the past the carp were netted and sold to a variety of outlets...for human consumption as well as food for mink and other animals. But since the PCB advisory on carp there is little market for the carp. They are being netted by the same operation (The Loy Family) but they are being paid out of federal funds for the June Sucker Restoration Program. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In short, there are not harmful levels of PCBs in the bullheads but they probably still do not have enough commercial value to warrant separating them out and selling them. The main value in removing them is removing them. Ditto for white bass.[/#0000ff]
