Australian scientists have been working for decades to find a way to rid our waterways of one of the most devastating invasive species - carp. Tasmania is on the verge of eliminating all invasive European Carp from its waterways. It’s been a mammoth effort taking 25 years and is the largest eradication effort of its kind in the world. 📺Watch the full series here: • Meet The Ferals | Land...

You have shown me at least 3 different species of Carp in this video. I believe this problem is the Asian Carp which is a very different species and considered INVASIVE in some environments. But just saying CARP in General and showing like I say 3 different types of Carp is ignorant to say the least. The Common Carp is considered a Naturalised Species in all Countries. They are a popular sports fish in Europe & UK and gaining popularity in the USA too.

Carps love being fed, fed them at a particular place they will make a routine visit there every day at same time, common carps are very intelligent, they love flour, and husks of rice and other cereals, every day feed at a particular area and fish the whole school without disturbing the water, by making them trapped the whole school, this the way we fish carps in India!! We feed them groundnut cake mix with rice polish flour, common bread flour!! The trick is not to disturb them when fishing them out, they also flock near fresh water comming into a pond!!

Carp is an invasive species in The Netherlands as well. They were introduced by the Romans, how cultivated them for consumption, so they have been over here a long, long time. In fact so long that they are not considered an invasive species, and the same story applies to Zander, a species that originated from East and Middle Europe. Zander is a fantastic gourmet fish, carp needs a little more attention. In countries where they eat carp regularly they let them swim in very clear fresh water for a couple of weeks before they are processed for consumption. BTW: they are both fantastic sport fish!

I have been fishing the Murray River for a long time or been camping with people that were fishing. 30 years ago it was mostlycarp. In the last 10 years (since I got the fishing bug) fishing between Echuca and Barmah, I have caught about 40 Murray cod, 10 silver perch, 3 troud cods and only 1 carp. Silver perch and troud cod are protected species. I still caught more of them than carp. Murray cod are everywhere.

It's like eating a lobster in the shell; you set up your butter, buns, utensils, put on a movie and crack open a couple cold ones. Great way to spend an occasional evening.

Each year in early spring they gather and are concentrated in one channel or area of a water way to spawn where they can easily be netted out. To prepare a carp for eating, soak the fillets or whole fish in vinegar for about 12 hours. This eliminates and/or softens the small sharp bones after which it can be minced up and made into fish balls, or roasted with a nice stuffing and red wine marinade.

The problem with the introduction of the virus is that some carp are immune from it via their genetics. It can devastate numbers but it doesn’t provide a complete answer as those remaining have immunity and breed and grow in numbers due to Australia’s stunning weather. It would need the virus along with concerted effort for a few years to catch the reduced number of immune fish. This model can be seen in countries that the virus already exists.

Australia is not particularly fertile. The land is very out of balance these days. That is why there are so many invasive species. Freshwater is sparse, much of our land is desert and soils are poor for farming in most places. We don't fish for this species because it is seen as a noxious pest. Native species are prized because of their rarity. It really is sad to see the old pictures of times gone by with huge Murray cod and clean freshwater rivers. These have been populations of native fish and plants have been decimated and the waters polluted by industry.

but the problem of fish waste had been solved as explained in the video? they made bio fertiliser.. it isnt the waste management thats the problem. its actually catching the wild carp. as you catch them. the yield lowers every year

@valy673 8 месяцев назад

they are trying to find a way to either fully eliminate or control population of carp effectively, which is definitely hard because they are an extremely invasive species, as well as amazingly smart for a fish species. although you could make the argument of fish collection after said virus had been released and wiped the population, the overall cost on top of the money put into researching, releasing and controlling said virus would amount to a much higher number than the people in charge are willing, or ultimately decide are willing to put into carp population control

I didn't realize that carp was popular for food and sport fishing. In Tennessee we have an invasion of Asian carp. The fish have invaded the Mississippi river, part of the Tennessee river and other waterways in southeast America. When I was little and we would go fishing, we didn't eat the carp we caught. My dad would dispatch each one to make sure he removed as many as possible.

Fisheries in Victoria seems to be stocking more Murray cod into more places. If they are allowed to reach a slot limit, where they become too big, and you can't keep them. I am sure these large Cod will eat lots of carp, and help to keep carp numbers down. In the past, when these large Cod where caught lots of fishermen kept them, to eat, or to mount on a wall.

The problem with these fish are they are tough to withstand just about any conditions, they could survive in a small creek or pond with only a foot of water. Us Aussies don't care much for eating them, they have a muddy taste with very little flavor and plenty of bones. If they were a good eating fish, there would be less of a problem. I've caught hundreds of these things here in South Australia, tried to eat them a couple of different ways, no thanks. However you can't compare them to salt water fish which are much tastier and Australia is an island surrounded with salt water. The European carp do make a great bait for catching blue swimmer crabs. :) It's also illegal in my state to return caught carp back into the water, we leave them on the bank or feed them to pelicans.

@ebonza 3 года назад

Absolutely no doubt that there are too many carp in SOME areas of Australia (note, SOME). However, there are contradictions to consider about why the Australian Govt. continues to provide public money to Carp eradication. Firstly...the origin of the water quality/turbidity problem in Australian waterways. From the 1970's, the Murray Darling Basin in particular has been modified/engineered to create vast pools to enhance irrigation - mainly for the Rice and Cotton farming industry. It's an admitted fact that this engineering has been a major factor in increased water turbidity, due to water flows in the Basin significantly decreasing and trapping silt from land run off. This factor should be front of mind for anyone with an interest in this situation - it's a scientifically defencible argument that adequate water flow in water way systems maintains water clarity...and that's good for native fish. So, instead of putting all the focus on a species of fish as [quote] "Bio-engineers" we have to look at the entire history of this problem, and combine with the contributory factor of the current carp biomass. If Australia could totally eradicate Carp (not feasible by the way), we would still have the water quality problem. I'm not against controlling carp numbers but I am sick of hearing the rhetoric excreted from Cotton Industry associated politicians, trying to mould public opinion and divert from the origin of an environmental issue that is made made. Just look to the UK, Mainland and Eastern Europe, North Africa etc. etc. to see that Carp co-exist with a diverse and healthy number of native fish, with the vast majority of waters they inhabit being crystal clear AND contributes to a prolific fishing and tourism industry that creates jobs and significant revenue. I'm sorry to say that Australia is the village idiot, compared to most of the world that has a population of carp.
