I live in Northern Illinois and they're really trying to change the name of the fish to "Silverfin" in an attempt to hopefully attract eaters. People hear "carp" and they think "trash fish" but I had a taco made with one and it was just as good as any other fish taco I've had. It's boney so things like tacos, burgers, anything ground really. And renaming a fish to make it more commercial has worked before: Orange Roughy was renamed from "Pacific smilehead" and Chilean Sea Bass, which sells for freaking $30/lb, was the Patagonian toothfish. In fact it worked *so* well for the Chilean Sea Bass that poaching has nearly collapsed fisheries several times. Which if it happens to the Silverfin...I'd be fine with that.

the more of Kyle's videos I watch, the more I realize how awesome and relatable he is. when he picked up his cat and said, "and we love them more than any human," with a serious face, I was like, "wow, this man gets me"

5:20 Tortoiseshell Calicos are my absolute favorite. That aside, I would propose a automated remote tactile transducer or even something as simple as a vibration motor that would be remotely and/or scheduled to activate after a large bin/netting/capture basin retracts. Then as it activates it would be anchored to the riverbed on shock mounts and move itself up and down a shaft from max depth to almost surface. Also as it activates, pnumatic solenoids extend the bin to catch the flailing carp. Another idea would be to drop small vibrating and eccentric objects from drones and account for the speed of the river to try and catch the fish after they jump into a downriver bin. Both ideas would only need remote timing and control and would not require onsite humans to minimise risk.

My neighbors who own livestock will drop a dog if it comes on their property. I don't mind dogs as much. A well fed cat is a psychopath. All they do is kill. You value a pets life over a birds simply because your emotions not whats right or wrong. Right or wrong has nothing to do with your emotions. A bird or a squirrel has more of right to live than some invasive species like a domesticated cat. There is a food chain and they throw a monkey wrench in it.

I thought he was going to mention the Rio Tiete on Brazil. That a few years ago was so dirty full of many chemical disposals from industries and trash/ human waste, that the few ppl that fell in died from being sick with no way of recover. Even a firefighter that tried to save a woman that just fell also died with her after getting out. Gladly and thankfully they cleaned the river and now its not deadlier anymore.

Safety Concern: Electrolysis of water does produce oxygen and hydrogen. However, saltwater will produce chlorine. This should have been mentioned as a brief safety reminder. Though it's small in amount, it's the principal that matters.

If we’re talking about deadly bodies of water, let me tell you about the dread I feel when I think of the Bolton Strid. While the water itself doesn’t have any properties such as being electrified or radioactive, it is deadly. Do not let the photos of it fall you, it is not an idyllic stream. In reality, it is a river forced onto its side that is believed to not have had a single person survive falling in. If you fall in then that’s it for you. The Bolton Strid will be your grave as the currents drag you down into the hidden caverns below, obliterating you against the rocks along the way. Learning about it has given me a very healthy respect for bodies of water and probably a new phobia.
