Utah lake carp project

[TubeDude]

[#0000FF]That is only about how long they have been under contract for the June Sucker Program. They have actually been commercially seining and selling carp from Utah Lake going back to the early 1900s. In earlier years they sold tons of carp to the ethnic food markets in big cities...and to animal farms, like the mink operations in Utah.

I have also heard others (besides myself) speculate that the Loys used to remove more carp each year than they are now doing under contract. Didn't destroy the carp population (or other species) then, so how will it do a better job now?
