LA CROSSE - Wisconsin fish experts will hold a public meeting in La Crosse tomorrow night to explain a potential new way to fight the invasive Asian carp.
The federal project uses water-guns and underwater speakers to generate sound waves and pressure that could force the bloated fish to swim away. The test will occur at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center on French Island in La Crosse. The geological group needs approval from the state DNR to move bighead and silver carp to the center for the study. The agency has received a federal permit to transport the fish.
The DNR will explain the project – and its role in it – tomorrow night at the U.S. environmental center on French Island in La Crosse.
