That's not hard.
The problem becomes, it is an invasive species that needs more than just you, me, and the rest of the fishermen on the lounge to curtail. And with the negative connotations surrounding the species, and its preparation taking more than a normal fish, It is a high risk, low reward scenario for a commercial setting.
Sadly, in todays day and age, the bottom line is going to fuel decisions like this from companies. They can't take a risk, and fail, or they lose all.
Of course I understand. As long as the impact on ending resources and environment are not put into the price of things we buy, we are destroying our planet at an incredible rate.
I just wanted to emphasize this fact when I read about this carp story. It is a clear example of the fact that the most dangerous invasive species is actually humanity.
