<< I noticed dozens of dead carp lieing on the shores. Other fishes
seemed to have not been affected by what I heard to be caused by some kind
of virus. Nick Zarlinga from the Cleveland Zoo also informed me of similar
situations in Lake Erie. Can anyone provide info as to what is causing this
problem..... Any input will be appreciated.... Robert Carillio, Ohio >>
Hummmmm...dead carp...that sounds like a good thing to me....especially if no
natives are affected!
Did you notice any holes in them? Bow fishermen can sometimes shoot lots of
carp and are known for just leaving them either along the shore or in the
shallows. Aside from that, I don't know of any carp-specific diseases.
Hummmm...I see dollar signs here!
