...News article from October 19, 2010<br />How timely...<br /><br />CHICAGO -- It may come down to the DNA. But this court case doesn’t involve murder or rape. It’s about Asian Carp, and how to stop them. Final arguments were made in the lawsuit.<br /><br />Federal Judge Robert Dow may rest his decision on whether or not to close the locks on the Chicago Shipping and Sanitary Canal on the reliability of DNA tests. Michigan Assistant Attorney General Robert Reichel say 50 tests have detected the carp beyond the electronic barriers and the locks. Lawyers for Illinois argue that just because the DNA is there, that doesn’t prove the fish are.<br /><br />At stake on the one hand is The Great Lakes Fisheries and on the other hand, the commerce generated by the flow of cargo on the canal. Lawyers from Michigan and 4 other states say there are alternative ways to ship goods, but you can’t replace the Great Lakes. Judge Dow did not set a date for his decisionbgutschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202078344528825694noreply@blogger.com
