Apparently I have done a poor job explaining what I meant.

I understand completely Asian carp are not the most profitable fish for commercial fisherman. This threads discussion was about our tax money going towards the problem. My point was since they already own the equipment for shocking fish it might be a cost effective way for the state to spend some of that tax money in helping to assist with the harvesting that already is occurring. I doubt those commercial fisherman that are currently harvesting Asian carp would refuse any assistance offered from the state.

However since it sounds like shocking is not effective on these fish the point is moot regardless.
