Please note that theese carp in the video are NOT Eropean carp BUT asain carp completely differant species' date=' [/quote']Its also interesting to note that Asian carp like those observed are not the same as Asian carp in Asia.The Asian carp in Asia don't really jump that much and they find it strange the amount the jump in the US. The leading theory is that ones that first were released were a extra jumpy strain which have spread.So they are the mutant Asian carp in the US.And a very popular food item in the Asian community (who likely first released/allowed to escape since they like buying their fish very, very fresh straight from the holding take) and growing as a food item in the US. They are still regarded as a poor fish throughout most of the US community though so the bulk of the catch goes to fish-meal production for things like petfood and fertilizer.
