Default Re: Lake Hopatcong Grass Carp:

I'd like to know a couple of things:

How do they sterilize the grass carp?

Is it 100% effective in regards to sterilization? Bc we all know, nature finds a way...

What's the typical average life span of grass carp?

How many would they be introducing?

With lake hopatcong's expansiveness, measuring effectiveness would be extremely difficult unless stockings are done in designated areas and the fish are realistically trapped within the confines of their theoretical containment. Otherwise, you're just throwing fish in a massive water body with next to zero ways of managing and measuring effectiveness. The words "controlled study" come to mind.
