ODNR Proposes Small Shark Population for Buckeye Lake
The Ohio Department of Natural Recources has announced that 3 lakes in Central Ohio have been selected to host "an in-depth study into carp population controls through the use of fresh-water sharks."
In a recent press release, marine biologist, Holly Falls-Hood stated:
" Due to the rise in popularity of Buckeye Lake as a resort area, many desirable game fish are in serious jeopardy. The populations of large-mouth bass, crappie and many species of catfish have shown demonstrably steady declines while carp populations are multiplying exponentially."
She continues on to explain how younger fish often fall prey to the voracious carp, those notorious inhabitants of shallow waters where other fish spawn seek shelter and safety.
ODNR seeks federal funding and approval from the Federal Department of the Interior for a release of sterilized juvenile sharks, including blue sharks and hammerheads. These fresh-water sharks are known to have a preference for "oily meat" type fish, the carp being chief among Buckeye Lake's species, and the most plentiful.
The experiment is designed to determine whether the sharks will target mostly carp and if they could survive in the cold climate of Central Ohio.
A personal thanks to Dave
1. For creating this site! As I explore it I'm really enjoying the promotion of Buckeye Lake itself and its local merchants, services, events, etc.
2. For taking the time to polish up and add a little zing to my own page and m y introductory blog. His time and effort is hugely appreciated. He further took time to explain some of the functions that I may best utilize this site, making it simple for even an Internet Dummy, such as myself, to enjoy its many features.
I do so hope others will be alerted to or otherwise discover this little gem of a website and avail themselves fully of it!
I look forward to a growth in membership as well as adding content when I have something worthy to add to it!
