\"\"The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are searching for heat-seeking Asian carp.<\/p>\n

Weather permitting, biologists will begin sampling in Chicago-area rivers and canals Wednesday for silver or bighead Asian carp that have made it past an electric fish barrier system.<\/p>\n

Crews will focus on areas where warm water from industrial operations enters the waterways. <\/p>\n

Fish tend to congregate near the warmer water in the winter as temperatures drop.<\/p>\n

The barrier system is designed to keep carp out of the Great Lakes, where officials fear they could disrupt the food chain by starving out other fish.<\/p>\n

While DNA samples suggest carp have breached the barrier, no physical fish has been found.<\/p>\n
