"Does anyone know if the MNR has stated a position on the destruction (termination) of these should one haul one in? (as they have for Round Goby)" - OT

"Don’t release any live fish into Ontario lakes or rivers. If you are fishing and incidentally catch an Asian carp, you must destroy it. Do not return it to the water."

That has been the MNR's position for a long time.

Yet, my position stands. None of these efforts to ask anglers to kill invasive species has ever helped to stop the invasive species. It just ends up with the killing and wastage of fish since 1) you can possess invasive species and 2) you can't consume invasive species. Once a species in the Great Lakes, only Mother Nature can get rid of it.
