A federally-funded study approved Friday by a board overseeing Kentucky’s wildlife management department will look at potential locations to develop an electric “fish fence” to block invasive carp on the Salt River — and harvest them straight out of the water onto a conveyor belt.

Dave Dreves, the director of fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR), told the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission that the $40,000 feasibility study would look to see if an electric “fish fence” system developed by a University of Minnesota professor to harvest carp could be installed on the Salt River basin.
