About Asian Carp: The Most Hated Fish In America
A relentless invasive fish is on the march, threatening to destroy one of the world's most important freshwater systems. Once brought to America to clean up fish ponds, Asian carp are now a major problem in the Mississippi River, out-competing native species and throwing the entire food chain out of balance. This film follows the incredible efforts to stop their spread, from a controversial plan to physically separate two major water systems to the use of an electric barrier that creates a wall of electricity to repel them. It's a race against time to prevent a catastrophic invasion of the Great Lakes and save America's waterways from this destructive force.
