Re: what are your thoughts on introduced 'pest' species?
My secret carp spot is full of them and the water is very clear. The Yarra's colour is due to the type of sediment found in the area. Many urban lakes are designed to catch stormwater and runoff. Not saying that carp don't cause problems because when you watch them feed they stir up plenty of mud, but lack of water clarity is not an issue exclusively caused by carp.4liters wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 7:11 pmThe poor water quality is from the carp stirring up the mud on the bottom. Get rid of the carp and more aquatic plants will grow and it’ll be more conducive to other fish speciessmokin_reels wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:11 pmAgreed.
But they either can’t seem to breed enough of them ,
Or they just get picky about sticking then into certain pockets for biodiversity reasons.
Plus a lot of these stinky suburban holes are such poor water q , only the Ferals can survive

Re: what are your thoughts on introduced 'pest' species?
In the Murray, in particular, it's the constant rise and fall of the river that causes the muddy water, we have the same problem in the Werribee river above the weir, it's never clean anymore because they keep sending water to the farms and the river drops dramatically, then they do an environmental flow and that dirties it up even more

Re: what are your thoughts on introduced 'pest' species?
I’d be interested to compare but I think our natives should take precedence over introduced species.Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 8:18 amIf you ever get the chance to catch one, you'll forget all about our native fish. I've caught quite a few, as well as Peacock Bass, stripers, and a heap of Talapia, nothing we have comes close to those fish.rb85 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 12:20 pmI wouldn’t mind catching one but not at the expense of our native fisheries.Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:50 pmYou have to catch one to understand why?rb85 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:51 pmWhy?Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:39 amThey should introduce Large Mouth Bass, that would be good
There used to be tilapia in hazelwood poundage weren’t anything special to be honest.

Interesting perspective did you ask him how they were fed prior to carp being introduced?

Re: what are your thoughts on introduced 'pest' species?
If I had to guess, by snacking on native fish that roamed wild and free. Without dams or changes in river paths ruining water q.
Would’ve been a mighty sight for sure.
It’s crazy how far they travel and spawn.
So much has changed now
