F&W knew since 2008 at a minimum. Lots were caught so I would hazard a range of 8-10 years in the system...maybe longer if they were in a dugout or impoundment that got flooded out in the past 8-10 years.
Currently they are concentrated heavily in the Rosebud Creek Drainage. Where else...not sure. IF just in the Rosebud Creek Drainage...there is still a chance not enough have made it to the Red Deer River to support a viable population there so eradication is still a possibility.
Different ways can be used to eliminate them depending upon where they are.
Rotenone, Primacord, Dewatering ponds, Electrofishing, Seining etc.
