I am a farmer in Nigeria, and I am interested in Aquaculture of this carp in tanks. Is there any information on the artificial culture of this fish, I see this quest as an opportunity to meet the protein demands in this part of the world and would greatly appreciate any assistance I can get.

Although I try to stick to a vegetarian diet, I would rather have the fish eaten than poisoned, this will harm the ecosystems no matter what the "experts" say. Try to begin the name with "Tasty" or advertise it with eaters saying "it is finger licken' good!" Use the word "fried"; say "it tastes good with French fries." With the oil spill, people are going to be short on fish to eat. It is a crime to poison the fish, or to have good food go to waste when millions of Americans go hungry every day. Also, the fish could be frozen and sent to Haiti or Chile, sites of earth quake disasters. About the oil spill: genuine oceanography experts should discuss the possibility of 'dumping' old cars and trunks with their engines, all toxics removed - in order to create and underwater mountain to try to slow down the oil movement. Even though it won't stop the flow, it might be worth it to slow down the movement. Free t-shirts should be given to the fisherman: "BP PAY US $1,000 A DAY NOW!!!! DON'T DELAY AND DENY US REPARATIONS LIKE US HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES DO! BP PAY FISHERMAN BEFORE THE POLITICIANS!!!! It depends on what it tastes like, what fish it tastes similar to.

Animal feed need protein and it doesn't matter too much where it comes from; as long as it's not the same species. Cows turned into cow food = mad cow disease. Carp are boney. Boney fish are a lot of work to debone but highly ground up it can be turned into a protein booster, for humans or animals. There's a rodent that digs up everthing in Lousianna; like a possum but not. They've spent a couple of years trying to get people to eat it to cut the population. Contact them for advice on selling unpopular fish. I partly serious and partly joking about calling Asisan carp “cat food”.

Oh...make it easy, like Asian Catfish or Asian Seabass. In Baltimore they have all these Lake Trout places...noone knows what that is so maybe River Trout or Lake Trout.

Changing the name of the fish will not stop them from reaching the great lakes or the irreversible harm they will cause. Typical US government, The US caused this problem but they won't try and fix it. How about you try to stop the problem instead of coming up this easy fix solution that still won’t solve the problem.
