In terms of the Mississippi itself, which, it sounds to me, is completely overrun with Asian carp, what kind of trends are we seeing? Usually the trend for an invasive species is a rapid spike and then a decline to some kind of level that's in equilibrium. Is that occurring in the Mississippi or has the system completely changed? Are the native species able to fight back and get part of their niche or have the Asian carp simply overwhelmed the Mississippi?
