Well a couple random thoughts..How about put them in canals? Unless I'm incorrect I don't think canals are stocked..I think all the fish that end up in canals just swam there from somewhere. It's also not like they're very popular to fish. Plus it's water for irrigation and mud bottom anyways so it's not supposed to look clean or whatever.
Much to my disappointment a few years ago I started jogging along a canal by my house and discovered tons of dying fish. At the time it was really weird cause I didn't remember seeing any carp..All I remembered were lots of mud cats, some channels,lots of white bass and millions of various types of baby cat fish. Like usual this last year I jogged along it buut to my surprise it was ONLY carp and what appeared to be an occasional gold fish. So yeah, there's some canals that run all year long which I'd prefer them to be put in but even if they were put in ones like by my house, at least they'd have the summer to live. I'm not sure if the farmers even know/do anything with the fish. The only people who do know are joggers and walkers.
On another thought how about selling at stores? At Sportsmans they sell Chubs and minnowss in the freezer..maybe they could start selling the carp. I'm sure people would buy cause I've heard several people say they're good for cat fish.
