America’s Most Hated Fish — Why The US Is Spending $16M A Year To Stop Them

How do you stop a biological invasion without blocking billions of dollars in shipping cargo? The answer lies in turning the river itself into a high-voltage weapon. In today’s video, we investigate the US Army Corps of Engineers' most aggressive defense system: The Electric Dispersal Barrier in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. This is not a physical dam; it is a pulsed direct current (DC) field designed to paralyze millions of invasive Asian Carp before they can breach the Great Lakes. From the physics of "Galvanotaxis" to the installation of massive steel electrodes on the riverbed, we break down the engineering behind this invisible wall. Do you think this electric wall is a permanent fix or just a stalling tactic against nature?
