New fish plant planned in southern Illinois would help remove carp from Ohio, Mississippi rivers
Published: , in Outdoor News
Copi from both the Mississippi River and Ohio River could soon be processed at a proposed fish plant to be built in southern Illinois.
Copi – the name given to Asian carp by the state last summer – would be processed in Alexander County on land currently owned by DNR. Two Rivers Fisheries, a western Kentucky company that launched operations across the Ohio River in 2012, is expected to purchase the parcel, which sits adjacent to Fort Defiance State Park and the city of Cairo.
