Yes, we can make Fish Amino Acid (FAA) out of waste fish or its entrails. Excellent fertilizer when used as foliar or basal fertilizer. It must be diluted first before application

Don’t blame China Because; capitalism. Someone is always going to be looking for a way to profit by a “quick fix” with no consideration for the future.
Ok I really don't see how this would harm or kill humans. Being a retired electrician I know a few things about the subject . I not sure exactly what they are doing but they are only energizing it with 2.3 volts a doorbell transformer is 24 volts you can not feel a shock from 24 v. no muscle contraction nothing. I have felt shocks at 48 volts when I was sweaty and bumped into a phone punch down block when someone on that block was getting a call the bell runs on 48 v. Now when you get above that voltage it's another ball game . The amperage is what kills though it only takes milliamps in milliseconds to do the job. The voltage is the push to get the current through the wire and high enough it can blow body parts off and holes in bodies but the current is what kills. At any rate I would find another swimming hole.
The narrator is sort of mis-speaking by only saying "2.5 volts." It's actually 2.5 volts per centimeter of length of whatever swims into the field.These barriers typically run a 1500 watt field, DC, pulsed at 5,000 Hertz...impedance of wet human skin is only 100 Ohm...so a 6 ft tall man (180cm) would feel about 108,000 watts.
The effect is proportional to the length of the organism, so stronger on bigger, longer organisms (such as humans.) In order to deter the smaller organisms the fields have to be relatively higher than to deter the larger critters, e.g., harmful for larger organisms. Fish can definitely sense this and if current is not too strong, avoid it. Stronger fields can cause involuntary muscle contraction.
I was wondering when someone would notice the 2.5 volts as being rediculously low. Although I wonder if you couldn't feel 2.5 volts in water, and I think that fish could feel it, it just wouldn't be harmful. Think about a 9 volt battery accross the tongue, pretty strong.
We went through this part of the river in JULY 2004 while doing the Great Loop. No problem, just follow the rules. We saw many carp jumping out of the water ahead and behind our boat because of engine noise I guess. Quite a sight. None landed on our deck but lot's of fishermen in smaller vessels were catching them with nets. This is nature out of control.
Pollock caught in the Bering sea off Alaska used to be used for cat food. Because cod were overfished, pollock now is the fish used to make fish sandwiches at McDonalds. Using these carp for cat food is a good and natural solution to this problem.
Apart from being bony, carp aren't good eating because they don't taste very good as they digest lots of mud, something Asians overcome by using strong spices! So unless your cat likes curried fish, it'll probably just turn its nose up at any carp you dish up!
@@gaglikabar They will wait around for the opposite sex to drift in. Some fish can change sex. However, I do not think the Asian and grass carp are not among them.
Not sure why the fisheries department aren't involved. They could be harvesting the Asian Carp, canning it & selling it as economical food for consumption. Am sure the poor, homeless & hungry would appreciate it. Macdonald's could be selling cheap fishburgers.
They're very bony and often taste pretty bad depending on area and diet, which is extensive. They could still be economically viable, but probably not for consumption by people.
People eat them in Asia and to be honest I've eaten them and they have a very mild taste not fishy at all clean white meat but Americans are lazy and labeled them trash because they have bones and we want boneless fillets and the bones aren't small pin bones but rather large,try it you just might like it
@@James-rm2pz Sounds familiar when Pilchard became unfashionable after ww2 in UK they started calling them Tuna . Both condemned for no better reason than being too bountiful.
In Australia I would guess that most of the fish mass throughout most of the country in European carp. Quite often if you are fishing the only fish that you will catch are carp. The carp are bigger than most freshwater species in Australia and laying up to a million eggs in a year has helped them absolutely decimate other species across Australia.

There is something "carpy" in this video: at least three times: at Minutes 6:01, 12:50 and 14:50 your animations and video scenes clearly show Common / European carp. These are also considered an invasive species but very (unfortunately) introduced to the States by US Government action in the late 19th century and are present in the Great lakes since then. They never gained the popularity as a sports and food fish as in Central Europe (and with the Jewish Community) and are also responsible for giving carp a bad name in the USA. Common carp also do not regularly jump at boaters and are primarily bottom feeders
why do not they catch them with big nets and take them to special shallow pools where they sort them. So some good fish will be returned to the river while the bad fish will be used to feed people with cheap protein or to feed animals.
“No one will try to save you” I have been a paramedic for 20 years with a majority of that in IL. We would save you and that device to meant for the fish to avoid swimming down the waterway, you would see a bunch of dead fish everywhere if that was the case. You would also see more barriers around the water instead of signs. So climatic.
let me get this straight. a constant electrical barrier is considered cheaper than creating a mound of dirt and a lift to move boats over the mound of dirt?? Did dirt get expensive somehow?
I think it's the bottleneck of a type of locke system with not enough time for that many carriers to get thru and arrive at destinations as scheduled. The changes in arrivals affects the delivery system also from destination.
This is interesting… considering that not long ago, the factories around the Great Lakes were dumping toxic waste into the waters. In the 80s the Great Lakes was considered a toxic cocktail. The fishes survived n thrived, but had a dangerous level of contamination. Has that changed? So the fishes are safe to be consumed, at your own risk? … I think it is a waste of financial resources, when the funds could be spent on something more… like education & property elevation
@@EricMcConnaughey Yeah, corporates don't want lower profits even if increasing and maintaining infrastructure ultimately gives the corp longevity of profits. Maybe too used to feds bailing them out when the dangers are great.
Sir , The problem with the Asian Carp in USA , is that because it is so much bony that it is unsuitable for American pallette . Why not extensively harvest the fish and export to Asian Countries , to get foreign exchange . Alternatively , pulverize the fish and use it for pig and poultry feed . Bigger size fish ( above 6 pounds ) have thicker bones , which can be picked clean , and suitable for American pallette . Australian method of medical poisoning , is debatable , it has rendered all wild rabbits unfit for consumption , and now , fish . Electric Barrier , is still the best option .
So, what happens when the next regional power outage happens? Given the numbers of fish shown, I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair number of fish get past the electrified spots.
Carp are very full of fine bone's, actually kind of tasty. But slow cook in foil on a grill, or smoke them very long, meat just fall off the bone. Old trick black folks taught me is just put them through a meat grinder and make patties.
@@Stonerbrom-r1e Fish are smaller and their bodies conduct electricity differently compared to humans. The electric field is designed to stun them without causing permanent harm. For Humans Larger Body Mass: Humans have a larger body mass compared to fish, and the electrical current can travel through a human body more extensively, potentially causing severe harm. Cardiac and Nervous System: The electric field can interfere with the human cardiac and nervous systems more significantly. Even a brief exposure to a high-voltage electric field can result in serious injuries or fatalities for humans, including cardiac arrest or severe burns. Conductivity and Duration: The duration of exposure and the conductive properties of water increase the risk. Humans are more likely to experience continuous exposure to the electric field if they fall into the water, leading to more severe effects.
Is that straight out of their brochure? Im Pretty sure I can handle more volts than a little fish, a police taser is 50.000v! Yea you end up on the floor twitching and it hurts like ..... but your alive. But when it comes to electric, it's the amps that kill you not volts. What's the amp on the thing?
True esting such organisms can truly sicken.the energy of entire members of areas that still have not fully emptied down the water levels to acceptant globally keeping from destruction of flooding and Restrain upon the entirety of style like areas of eras of traditional sense.
I keep hearing 2.3 volts. I'm trying to figure out how that would influence the human nervous system. The only thing I can come up with is that if the water is conductive enough, there would be a massive current flow that would overwhelm the skin barrier. That doesn't seem at all likely, but what do I know?
It is the DNA the fish should have. It is Asian Carp, an invasive species that causes ecological and environmental damage. Must keep Asian Carp from invading the Great Lakes.
Ah, I understand more now. Asian Carp have a sensitivity to electric fields, and that keeps them away. The prohibition comes from the electrification of the shoreline. A human passing through would be fine, just facing the heavy fine.
Nothing the stream is not solid enough for it to travel through to your weenie. Myth busters did cover this in slow motion, the stream is broken up so nothing passes through.
This video makes it sound like the electrical obstruction is deadly to humans all by itself. It's not. According to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the lowest electrical resistance of human flesh (wet or dry) is about 300 ohms. Even wet skin is higher than that, around 1000 ohms. At 300 ohms, 2.3 volts, can cause 7.6 milliamps to flow. According to Scientific Journal of Control Engineering, that's only *barely* in the AC-3 range, which can cause some muscle contraction. But only when exposed long-term. The odds of being killed by those low levels of shock alone are miniscule. So why the scary signs? Simple: the danger comes from the fact that to get shocked, you'd have to be swimming. If someone is particularly susceptible to electric shock, and is immersed in the water, it's possible, though unlikely, their muscles may contract. If they are not a strong swimmer, these contractions could be bad enough to cause trouble swimming, and potentially drowning.
Actually it’s fish in the wrong Environment … they aren’t essentially bad, they just do what they were designed to do ! Someone wasn’t thinking enough when they introduced the Grass Carp. It happened in NZ too ….

Good fish fertilizer 👍🏻
If you harvest the Carp you can use them for Farming Fertiliser or Food. Electrocution is not poisonous … even though it can be Fatal !
We jamaa ni muongo kichizi, punguza chai. 😂😂😂😂😂
This could be used as a food supply for people on welfare.
How generous of you.
Thanks for the reminder. Let’s keep it like that
I heard that someone brought them over to take care of some Algae in some ponds down south And there was a flood, and they spilled into the Mississippi, if they're not gonna eat them, they will they'll make great fertilizer, and that could be hugely profitable
Hi Steve! Youre still lookin good!! Great information, thank you for sharing
Coffee reminder at the end! So I made more coffee.
There is something "carpy" in this video: at least three times: at Minutes 6:01, 12:50 and 14:50 your animations and video scenes clearly show Common / European carp. These are also considered an invasive species but very (unfortunately) introduced to the States by US Government action in the late 19th century and are present in the Great lakes since then. They never gained the popularity as a sports and food fish as in Central Europe (and with the Jewish Community) and are also responsible for giving carp a bad name in the USA. Common carp also do not regularly jump at boaters and are primarily bottom feeders
why do not they catch them with big nets and take them to special shallow pools where they sort them. So some good fish will be returned to the river while the bad fish will be used to feed people with cheap protein or to feed animals.
Farmed carp $3.5
Wild carp $7
In my locality 😊😊😊
You kept saying we poisoned the canal. Electricity is not poison.
Proud to be a vegan. No thanks . Sometimes it’s hard to tell the bottom feeders apart . Take that any way you want
Fish heads fish heads roly poly fish heads, eat em up yum. Circa 1980 by Barnes and Barnes
“No one will try to save you” I have been a paramedic for 20 years with a majority of that in IL. We would save you and that device to meant for the fish to avoid swimming down the waterway, you would see a bunch of dead fish everywhere if that was the case. You would also see more barriers around the water instead of signs. So climatic.
Rescue services will never endanger themselves to save another, that is stupid
let me get this straight. a constant electrical barrier is considered cheaper than creating a mound of dirt and a lift to move boats over the mound of dirt??
Did dirt get expensive somehow?
Good dirt is truck load about $400.
I think it's the bottleneck of a type of locke system with not enough time for that many carriers to get thru and arrive at destinations as scheduled. The changes in arrivals affects the delivery system also from destination.
😮 if u live u get a Fine nice! 😂😂😂 ❤ good video never heard of this craziness 😊
This is interesting… considering that not long ago, the factories around the Great Lakes were dumping toxic waste into the waters. In the 80s the Great Lakes was considered a toxic cocktail. The fishes survived n thrived, but had a dangerous level of contamination. Has that changed? So the fishes are safe to be consumed, at your own risk? … I think it is a waste of financial resources, when the funds could be spent on something more… like education & property elevation
Or... build a freight line and close the canal...
Wait for it, wait for it; too expensive.

Yeah, corporates don't want lower profits even if increasing and maintaining infrastructure ultimately gives the corp longevity of profits. Maybe too used to feds bailing them out when the dangers are great.
The Aussie method is quite dangerous since that can leads to chain reaction.:v
We used electric lines to fish in Brooks
Can be done with induction boxes
Staight electric current with a single AC pulse
Sir ,
The problem with the Asian Carp in USA , is that because it is
so much bony that it is unsuitable for American pallette .
Why not extensively harvest the fish and export to Asian
Countries , to get foreign exchange .
Alternatively , pulverize the fish and use it for pig and poultry feed .
Bigger size fish ( above 6 pounds ) have thicker bones , which can be
picked clean , and suitable for American pallette .
Australian method of medical poisoning , is debatable , it has rendered
all wild rabbits unfit for consumption , and now , fish .
Electric Barrier , is still the best option .
Humans think they can fight with Nature 😂
This is an attempt to correct what was done by humans to nature. It’s apparent nature does what it will.
not nature always wins over time.
Put heating coils in a square section and heat the water to near boiling. Ships can sail through but kills most living organisms
And if there are boats where they aren't allowed....
''Release the _reaper_ ''
People that are following Biblical scriptural commandments, are commanded not to eat fish that are without fins and scales.
Great solution. Too bad there isn't a solution for natural bodies of water.
2.3 volts? Something's not right there. 2.3V, even pulsed, wouldn't make my tongue flinch. 2.3KV perhaps.
I don't know what to say about this. It is strange nature has so much power.
Don't drink decaf please,avoid methylene chloride
They use different extraction solvents now
@@Reactionreacting no all companies
Minced and spiced makes a great dish
So, what happens when the next regional power outage happens?
Given the numbers of fish shown, I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair number of fish get past the electrified spots.
Carp are very full of fine bone's, actually kind of tasty. But slow cook in foil on a grill, or smoke them very long, meat just fall off the bone. Old trick black folks taught me is just put them through a meat grinder and make patties.
"2.3 volts". Wow, really scary. (That's less than 2 AA batteries.)
hard to believe 2.3v, I'd believe 2.3kv
Thanks again China
So going in the water would kill a person.. but only stuns fish.. hmm fishy
Well it's probably because fish can breathe under water and humans are paralyzed so they drown?
@AnimeFridays but the amount of power it takes to paralyse a human would surely kill a fish
@@Stonerbrom-r1e Fish are smaller and their bodies conduct electricity differently compared to humans. The electric field is designed to stun them without causing permanent harm.
For Humans
Larger Body Mass: Humans have a larger body mass compared to fish, and the electrical current can travel through a human body more extensively, potentially causing severe harm.
Cardiac and Nervous System: The electric field can interfere with the human cardiac and nervous systems more significantly. Even a brief exposure to a high-voltage electric field can result in serious injuries or fatalities for humans, including cardiac arrest or severe burns.
Conductivity and Duration: The duration of exposure and the conductive properties of water increase the risk. Humans are more likely to experience continuous exposure to the electric field if they fall into the water, leading to more severe effects.
Is that straight out of their brochure? Im Pretty sure I can handle more volts than a little fish, a police taser is 50.000v! Yea you end up on the floor twitching and it hurts like ..... but your alive. But when it comes to electric, it's the amps that kill you not volts. What's the amp on the thing?
It’s to stop you folks from fishing 🎣 and being SUSTAINABLE 🤦🏾😈 so enjoy your fish from the store 😩
Lol i’ve never given a like, but I did because of the intrusive reminder to the coffee
Guess the mafia likes this. They don’t even need cement shoes.
True esting such organisms can truly sicken.the energy of entire members of areas that still have not fully emptied down the water levels to acceptant globally keeping from destruction of flooding and Restrain upon the entirety of style like areas of eras of traditional sense.
Different electric frequencies have different effects on nerves systems , but finding the correct frequency for a type of marine life ?
Ate fried carp when I caught them as a little kid- Smoked is good too
I keep hearing 2.3 volts. I'm trying to figure out how that would influence the human nervous system. The only thing I can come up with is that if the water is conductive enough, there would be a massive current flow that would overwhelm the skin barrier. That doesn't seem at all likely, but what do I know?
Where did the fish get the DNA they shouldn’t have had in the first place?
It is the DNA the fish should have. It is Asian Carp, an invasive species that causes ecological and environmental damage. Must keep Asian Carp from invading the Great Lakes.
Ah, I understand more now. Asian Carp have a sensitivity to electric fields, and that keeps them away. The prohibition comes from the electrification of the shoreline. A human passing through would be fine, just facing the heavy fine.
What is the electrical current? that will answer all questions of safety.
what happens if you pee in to the Electrified water?
You'll get a ventricular fibrillation 😅
Nothing like peeing on an electric fence. Think myth busters did something on this but your pee isn't an unbroken stream of liquid.
Nothing the stream is not solid enough for it to travel through to your weenie. Myth busters did cover this in slow motion, the stream is broken up so nothing passes through.
You won't do it again. 😅😅😅
Your pp gets bigger
getting your ocean hero add of your youtube video is crazyyyyy congrats tho
Sounds better than feeding us insects.
Aw, jeez, one or two making it through the fish barrier is just a numbers game. It's not 100% effective, it's just close.
This video makes it sound like the electrical obstruction is deadly to humans all by itself. It's not. According to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the lowest electrical resistance of human flesh (wet or dry) is about 300 ohms. Even wet skin is higher than that, around 1000 ohms. At 300 ohms, 2.3 volts, can cause 7.6 milliamps to flow. According to Scientific Journal of Control Engineering, that's only *barely* in the AC-3 range, which can cause some muscle contraction. But only when exposed long-term. The odds of being killed by those low levels of shock alone are miniscule.
So why the scary signs? Simple: the danger comes from the fact that to get shocked, you'd have to be swimming. If someone is particularly susceptible to electric shock, and is immersed in the water, it's possible, though unlikely, their muscles may contract. If they are not a strong swimmer, these contractions could be bad enough to cause trouble swimming, and potentially drowning.
When fish go bad! Age old story...
Actually it’s fish in the wrong Environment … they aren’t essentially bad, they just do what they were designed to do ! Someone wasn’t thinking enough when they introduced the Grass Carp. It happened in NZ too ….
@@chrisbraid2907 I fully know the story...

@@TK-593 Peace. Thank you for reply! Query is so brief, am not exactly sure of being able to adequately respond. In observation, someone thinks to produce things. Manipulates physical world to manifest thoughts. A, 'Creator' is not a, 'what'. They are, 'who'. Each of us is maturing over time. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Am aware vast varieties of, 'creators' have been known to mankind's members. Everything that is natural, i.e., water, plants, animals, celestials, natural gases, exist because a Creator thought to bring these physical forms into existence. Including us. That Creator. Peace.
