1. A method of mitigating an environmental impact of invasive Asian carp comprising:
recruiting overfishing of a species of Asian carp harvested from one or more rivers or lakes in which the species of Asian carp is invasive, the recruiting overfishing being at least partially induced by a process comprising:
obtaining fish bones from the harvested Asian carp;
producing a sorbent from the fish bones by drying and milling the fish bones into sorbent particles having a metal sorption capacity effective for treating a metal contaminated material; and
treating metal contaminated material with an effective amount of the sorbent to form immobilized reaction products of the metal contaminated material and the sorbent.
