Chicago - Federal officials announced Friday that the intensive monitoring of rivers in the region next week near Lake Michigan, according to the genetic material of the invasive Asian carp in the third round of tests in a row.
Teams will be a shock to stun fish, rub his way long and full of half-kilometer journey from additional samples in Lake Calumet and the Calumet River near Chicago in four days Monday announced that the Asian carp Regional Coordination Frau Rath
DNA was found silver carp, one of the two Asian species that threatens the Great Lakes for export, migrate north to the south for years, in 11 samples of water and the river during the test in July. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers announced on 22 July that two consecutive DNA samples can be improved with the silver carp and a reaction when the DNA in a sample of the third.
Some scientists say that the large, voracious carp move into the Great Lakes was able to solve it through the bite of the food of planktonic forms of life, the value of sport fish such as trout and Walleye. Environmental experts and some representatives of the Member States rely on the body of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River in the carp immediately after the closing.
It is not clear from the example of the fish in the pond or if genetic material from dead fish or the water coil, said Chris McCloud, Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman.
"We just need to step in now, we make good decisions," said McCloud said.
He said biologists, sample more than Monday, with fishing nets and electric start Thurs If at least an idea of carp action on two or more are found to be responsible for determining whether a poison used to kill carp, said McCloud.
"We remain vigilant in charge of Asian carp in the Great Lakes region and in the investigation of a possible source of the DNA of the Asian carp from the perspective of human-human transmission in at least unconsciously use of Asian carp bait or other activities that they were able to move Great Lakes, "said John Goss, director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a written statement.
Patrons of the electric fence about 25 miles from Chicago for aquatic species to move between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River made designed to prevent.
Federal officials say the fence is working properly and there is no evidence that the Asian carp. The people, the Asian carp in the Lake Michigan side of the barrier to be found.
But saying that environment as quickly and powerfully the federal and Illinois intervene to ensure that the carp is the Great Lakes. Promote the development of structures in waterways linking the former Chicago man between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River system on the break.
The body of this study and other methods to prevent water species to move between the two is made, but a report scheduled for release in 2015. Critics say it is too late.
Bram said Joel Meier, president of the Alliance for the Great Lakes, he was not surprised by the results of the tests, he said, almost certainly signal a fish in water.
"The nail biter I hope this is not a strict supervision of the efforts to change something," Meier said Bram said. "It would mean that they are likely very low, but you will find that the more critical situation for the Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes.
"We use this kind of Russian roulette we continue to play until a permanent solution instead."
Five states - Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - A federal judge filed lawsuit demanding faster action.
Patricia Birkholz, Director of the Michigan Great Lakes, said the action for the following week for carp in Lake Calumet planned good fight.
"The bad part of the Asian carp at all, and they seem more than any of us got."
John Sellek, spokesman for Michigan Attorney General Bill Schutte said the Corps must "take action without further investigation."
"When you wake up in your home and you smell smoke, call the fire department," he said.
