Robo Carp?

The Mississipi River (et.al) now has Asian Carp escaped from Catfish ponds. These carp mess up the indigenous ecosystem, and now threaten the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Fishery Management site has video of Asian Carp leaping.

Now with RoboFish, maybe we can make a bad problem worse (Jurassic Park with Techno); think RoboFish targeted to Asian Carp's "smell"/DNA signature. And imagine a programming error with the 1.1 code release....

Perhaps grief for Noodling afficianados. More Noodling reviews at Johnsjottings.com.
    From Wikipedia.org: "Noodling is the practice and sport of fishing for catfish using only one's bare hands. Noodling may be called grabbling, graveling, hogging, or tickling, depending on what southern state you're in (Kentuckians call it dogging, while Nebraskans prefer stumping)."
Other ecosystem car wrecks are discussed at http://www.protectyourwaters.net/, "The Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers web site is part of the ANS Task Force public awareness campaign and is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceand the U.S. Coast Guard. "
