It was interesting to note about the shipments that were coming across the border that most of the suppliers or people who trade in Asian carp are very well aware of the ban on live Asian carp that has been in place for numerous years. In this case the tanker was drained of water, but the fish were on ice and several of them did not die in the time it took for the tanker to cross the border and be held back for inspection. The fish can be easily resuscitated once water is added. That speaks to their being a biologically very hardy species. They are very tough to suppress.
We feel it is the tip of the iceberg. We received the tip from the Canada Border Services Agency. Our enforcement and conservation officers conducted the inspection and found that there were live Asian carp in the shipment. There weren't a lot of them, but there were a number of them there. Charges have been laid, but I don't know if we've taken it through to prosecution.
Francine, I know you were involved in some of the details.
