The photo in the middle was captured in France.

The other most talk about issue is the explosion of asian silver carp in one river. The carps jumped out of the water due to the vibration of the outboard motor. Nobody eats the carp....
this one happens in USA. they are catching asian carps by the 10s of thousands everyday and yet the population is exploding. Species at risk are 2 giants, Lake sturgeon and giant paddle fish.

ironically, Asian carps are hard to come by in China where they are considered a delicacy.
