A Chuck-a-Rama special?
Utah wildlife officials are trying to unload some carp — about six million of them.Here's the problem: Utah Lake's endangered June sucker is on the verge of a $39 million turnaround, except for one seriously ugly, bottom-feeding, problem. The lake's carp eat the bottom vegetation, making the June suckers, er, suckers for predators.
The ideas so far: compost, a humanitarian food source and pet food. Cassie Mellon, a fish biologist with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, says even biofuel is a possibility:How cool would it be to be driving a car powered by carp?
It would be cool, Cassie, until the first inversion.

It's amazing how big those carp get by feeding at the outlets of the water treatment plants that dump their effluent into the lake.
