Environment - "Asian carp seized, U.S. firm fined"

An odd story today in the Toronto Sun about an "Indiana company caught bringing live Asian carp into Canada." A truck inspection found:

6,000 pounds of bighead carp were found packed in ice.

The fish can live 24 to 48 hours out of the water, and the gills of some were still active. Several were placed in water and they began moving, the court was told.

No explanation of where the 6,000 pounds of Asian carp were headed.
