YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

America can't eat its way out of this problem.

The U.S. War on Asian Carp just leveled up. Although the Carpocalypse may never end, a recent weapon could be the best shot at controlling silver and bighead carp populations. The new approach called the "Modified Unified Method" takes a traditional Chinese netting technique and modifies it by adding annoying underwater sounds and electric currents to annoy the carp and drive them into a very small area for harvesting. It ends up removing around 90% of fish from a body of water.
