Cost effectiveness -
Probably not unless the price per pound gets much higher than it currently is ... commercial fishermen can't justify their costs when they're only getting about $0.15/lb

Electroshock boats -
The electroshocking equipment normally used by the KDFWR may not be sophisticated enough to immobilize Asian Carp, according to this article : https://www.fws.gov/fieldnotes/regmap.cfm?arskey=30806

Since the fish have been loose in our water systems since back in the 1970's, and have been a noticeable threat to our fisheries for a decade or two .... I think all the "simple" fixes have been proven ineffective. It's likely going to take a biological/chemical remedy to bring them under control. They're pretty much here to stay, IMHO ... so we need to give up on eliminating them, and concentrate on controlling their numbers (and their spread).
