I'm honestly surprised that the fish react that way, it puts them into a stuper where they float to the top... which is awesome for conservationists to be able to remove just the carp (an unwanted "trash" fish) and after a couple hours, all the fish fall to the bottom. the only problem is that they'd have to keep all of their activities secret, as soon as a lake around here was getting the dose, i'd be swimming. |

We know next to nothing about science yet we play with it every day in very real ways. For example, less than 1 percent of all chemicals out there have been fully tested for their long term and short term effects on humans and the environment. |

I agree about everyday chemicals, but I'm pretty sure LSD as a naturally occuring substance has been researched to death. See: Albert Hoffmann |

If any of the standard chemicals, such as rotenone, are used, all the fish, both carp and game fish, usually die, aquatic insects suffer and the poison sometimes lingers for months, preventing the restocking of game fish. But if a chemical could cause all the fish to surface for several hours without killing them, then the undesirable fish could be picked out and the game fish left to prosper. Again, a surfacing chemical would enable biologists to take a highly accurate fish census of a body of water without harming a fin. |

" Ok, so let me get this straight. They wanna get all the fish high & get rid of those pesky carp in order to allow the other fish to "prosper" only to go back when those fish are sober again and kill them for fun? ...And they are hoping to make it easier for humans to continue to deplete our already suffering oceans ("Even though the Russians have huge factory ships with radar and all sorts of gear... That still is hunting... 'I can see the day when you back your freezer truck up to the dock and the fish just march right out of the water and fillet themselves.'")? ...And all under the guise of finding a cure for schizophrenia? I bet this Loeb guy and his buddy Abramson use the same tactics to get laid. Write a Scaphism song about it! |
