    Electrifying the water is not "poisoning" it. Also, there are some fishing companies that catch the carp and ship them cleaned and frozen back to Asia where they are accustomed to eating these fish, they actually prefer the Asian carp from the USA.

      That's what the Native Americans used to do. It's a relatively simple and extremely effective and eco friendly solution. Of course we'd be quite a bit cleaner and more efficient that simply including 2 fish with each plant. The trick would be economically separating the carp from native fish species.

    The introduction of the carp was even worse than described. They were meant to just clean up the retainment ponds at nuclear power plant sites. It was known that they had the potential to be massively invasive. But when the plants were decommissioned, the measures used to stop them from spreading into the Mississippi watershed were no longer exercised.

    I watched the documentary on this to stop invasive fish from contaminating other lakes, it's really an interesting concept that works. Poisoning the water is a hazard for everything that relies on the the water so electricity is safer. It doesn't kill anything it deters them from entering the canal, it keeps them on that side of the water way so they don't enter the great lakes.

    Ok I really don't see how this would harm or kill humans. Being a retired electrician I know a few things about the subject . I not sure exactly what they are doing but they are only energizing it with 2.3 volts a doorbell transformer is 24 volts you can not feel a shock from 24 v. no muscle contraction nothing. I have felt shocks at 48 volts when I was sweaty and bumped into a phone punch down block when someone on that block was getting a call the bell runs on 48 v. Now when you get above that voltage it's another ball game . The amperage is what kills though it only takes milliamps in milliseconds to do the job. The voltage is the push to get the current through the wire and high enough it can blow body parts off and holes in bodies but the current is what kills. At any rate I would find another swimming hole.

    • @ronaldstewart6332
      @ronaldstewart6332 4 месяца назад +17

      The narrator is sort of mis-speaking by only saying "2.5 volts." It's actually 2.5 volts per centimeter of length of whatever swims into the field.These barriers typically run a 1500 watt field, DC, pulsed at 5,000 Hertz...impedance of wet human skin is only 100 Ohm...so a 6 ft tall man (180cm) would feel about 108,000 watts.

      The effect is proportional to the length of the organism, so stronger on bigger, longer organisms (such as humans.) In order to deter the smaller organisms the fields have to be relatively higher than to deter the larger critters, e.g., harmful for larger organisms. Fish can definitely sense this and if current is not too strong, avoid it. Stronger fields can cause involuntary muscle contraction.

    In Australia I would guess that most of the fish mass throughout most of the country in European carp. Quite often if you are fishing the only fish that you will catch are carp. The carp are bigger than most freshwater species in Australia and laying up to a million eggs in a year has helped them absolutely decimate other species across Australia.

    Why not extensively harvest the fish and export to Asian
    Countries , to get foreign exchange .
    Alternatively , pulverize the fish and use it for pig and poultry feed .
    Bigger size fish ( above 6 pounds ) have thicker bones , which can be
    picked clean , and suitable for American pallette .
    Australian method of medical poisoning , is debatable , it has rendered
    all wild rabbits unfit for consumption , and now , fish .

  • @ReadTheShrill
    @ReadTheShrill 4 месяца назад +2

    This video makes it sound like the electrical obstruction is deadly to humans all by itself. It's not. According to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the lowest electrical resistance of human flesh (wet or dry) is about 300 ohms. Even wet skin is higher than that, around 1000 ohms. At 300 ohms, 2.3 volts, can cause 7.6 milliamps to flow. According to Scientific Journal of Control Engineering, that's only *barely* in the AC-3 range, which can cause some muscle contraction. But only when exposed long-term. The odds of being killed by those low levels of shock alone are miniscule.
    So why the scary signs? Simple: the danger comes from the fact that to get shocked, you'd have to be swimming. If someone is particularly susceptible to electric shock, and is immersed in the water, it's possible, though unlikely, their muscles may contract. If they are not a strong swimmer, these contractions could be bad enough to cause trouble swimming, and potentially drowning.

      Larger Body Mass: Humans have a larger body mass compared to fish, and the electrical current can travel through a human body more extensively, potentially causing severe harm.
      Cardiac and Nervous System: The electric field can interfere with the human cardiac and nervous systems more significantly. Even a brief exposure to a high-voltage electric field can result in serious injuries or fatalities for humans, including cardiac arrest or severe burns.

    Many invasive species got into the Great Lakes thanks to the St. Lawrence Seaway, a boneheaded idea the Eisenhower administration took credit for. They appealed to the greed of cities like Detroit and Chicago. They were told they would become fabulously wealthy like Rotterdam and Liverpool. The US and Canadian governments shamelessly pandered to that and it's been nothing but headaches since. And nobody got rich except the contractors who built the mess.
    The suggestion of using fish as fertilizer is in fact a good idea and an old one. Lake Erie was once teeming with lake trout. A century ago boats went out with massive drift nets and pulled them ashore, mostly to Ontario to the north and Ohio to the south. Farmers bought it by the ton and crops were fabulous. That probably is where the carp will end up.
