[–]austin3i62 10 points11 points ago

Non-native species that's beginning to fuck shit up in the US of A as well I believe.

[–]Wheelchairdawg 5 points6 points ago

You would be incorrect, that is not an Asian Carp.

[–]dinnertainment 5 points6 points ago

You would be incorrect, there are other species of carp which have invaded aquatic ecosystems across the U.S.A. The asian carp is certainly a charismatic species, but the common carp is also making a mess, ecologically that is.

[–]Wheelchairdawg 4 points5 points ago

The Asian Carp is the one that's the biggest threat. Other carps can be contained and they don't reproduce as rapidly. The Asian Carp is the one that is destroying the Mississippi River and slowly working it's way up to the great lakes. There's a reason why it's one of the few freshwater fish that has absolutely no regulations on harvesting.

[–]dinnertainment 3 points4 points ago

As a fisheries ecologist, I am well aware of the asian carp. You are correct about the high fecundity of asian carp, but common carp in the right environment are highly *fecud as well. My point of contention is that you incorrectly assumed that austin3i62 was referring to asian carp. His statement is correct, though he does not directly state it was a common carp.

*fecund

[–]Wheelchairdawg 1 point2 points ago

I'm not debating that normal carp aren't a problem in some places and correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Asian Carp pose a much larger threat than the common carp?

[–]dinnertainment 5 points6 points ago

Hmmmm. That is such a difficult question. First, its a value based. How do we measure ecological value. Its not simply monetary. Common carp have invaded numerous aquatic ecosystems and likely have driven some species to local extinction. I understand what you mean by threat, but its also important to recognize that common carp are causing these changes slowly right before our eyes. Second, we are only now beginning to understand how common carp are changing the flows of energy budgets in stream and lake ecosystems but are not sure what the consequences are in broader spatial networks (aquatic-terrestrial linkage).

Asian carp populations have exploded due to a large food base and limited or no predation. They due pose a substantial risk to the Great Lakes ecosystems, principally because their native range is more in line with the Great Lakes, not the warm waters of the Mississippi R. As a scientist, we think about how factors such as food and environmental conditions will influence their population growth. The colder temperatures and lessened primary productivity may, in fact, limit their populations (I really hope I am right) to a point where they dont have the huge populations in the Great Lakes. Again, these asian carp may outcompete or usurp habitats occupied by native fishes, facilitating further ecological damage that isnt readily observed the the public.

Its hard for me to address your answer directly. I hope I provided some clarity into how its a difficult issue. Asian carp are a threat. They have and will do damage. We, as a society, observe their (asian carp) spread and know the damage they can do. Other invasive species have already invaded and dramatically altered ecological processes, yet we often downplay or dont recognize these effects b/c they dont jump out of boats and hit people in the face :P

Obviously you've never gone fishing and spent a goodly amount of time reeling in a fish to find one of these bastards on your hook.

[–]RiversOfAwesome 2 points3 points ago

Im in the UK, and fishing for carp is very popular here. I've done it a lot, carp are great fun to catch.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Yep.

[–]DongleNocker 0 points1 point ago

I will agree, they put up a great fight. But if your fishing for your dinner it it is not something you want to land.

[–]GrahamCoxon 0 points1 point ago

But the reeling in of a fish is 60% of the point of sport fishing

[–]TheOnlyNeb 0 points1 point ago

Do you really hate the carp or are you just saying it because you saw it?

[–]tofuwaffles 0 points1 point ago

i really do hate them. you cant eat them because they taste terrible and you cant fillet them because of their bone structure. They breed extremely rapidly and will take over lakes and ponds.

Every time I see this posted I imagine a fish with a spiny dorsal fin just absolutely mutilating the guys throat as it thrashes. Cringe every time.

[–]goodbyegalaxy 7 points8 points ago

The fin is only spiky if you rub it backwards. If pressure is applied forward like that it just folds down. Probably so the fish doesn't get stuck in things.

[–]frogswithwings 1 point2 points ago

I still cringe and imagine blood flying everywhere lol.

Every new image thread should go through this filter by default on reddit.

[–]TheOnlyNeb 11 points12 points ago

Why, in case some people might actually want to see a gif they haven't seen for 4 months?

I've spent most of the last 6 months here and I don't remember this. People need to stop giving that big of a fuck about things being a repost. You saw it, not everybody did.

[–]paranoidbeemer 2 points3 points ago

People have the repost argument all the time. Of course it's not a big deal when things get reposted. But, there is some content that gets posted once a week for months... /r/funny shouldn't be a best-of-internet-jokes hall of fame. I'm not sure why the grid above only shows five results, but according to my karma decay check, this GIF had been posted seventeen times before now. Everybody's entitled to their opinion, obviously, but to me that means it shouldn't have been posted an eighteenth time.

[–]brebnahbrau 1 point2 points ago

Not to mention the fact people never look through the most upvoted of all time/month etc, where they would instantly see these pictures.

Yet they choose blame everyone else for pointing out its a repost.

[–]absolutcity 0 points1 point ago

I'll tell you why, because let's give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he never saw this post before, found it elsewhere, and thought reddit should see it. Fine. If this filter existed as a default for every image then at least he can see who posted this first and give credit to that original poster as a source. That being said I still agree with paranoid that old content shouldn't be reposted 18 times, it takes up a spot on the front page that could've had something original on it instead of the same old karma hunting.
