21 dirty f*****G carp shot with my trusty 22 krico in the last fortnight.
There are many ways to kill things but as long as it is humane, dead is dead so job done.Not sure what to make of this, personally as a carp angler I think you need.............. actually forum rules stop me saying what I want to say. As a fishery manager I can see where they can become a pest and need thinning out, but this is not the right way to do it. Neil.
T food was food.

come on mate , different countrys different cultures and problems , look at the trouble they have with rabbits , foxes , cane toads , cats , camels the list goes on , what would you do about mink ? and i get the odd call from carp fisheries about otters how do you feel about those big boysNot sure what to make of this, personally as a carp angler I think you need.............. actually forum rules stop me saying what I want to say.

put some trail cams up , i bet youve already had a visitor Hornet
Seems that if that is the case Australia has shown even less sense than us as far as importing, and then failing to control introduced species.
I still say if they have that many carp then a use should be found for them, tons at a time, well that is tons of food that could be exported.
Mate,thats one of the most ignorant posts i've seen.
First you don't understand the size of Aus & our droughts & floods.When it rains our "inland sea" is larger than several large European countries.These aquatic rats breed up & when the droughts come the densities are unbelievable as the warer receds.They erode & destroy habitat & are a major threat to bio diversity.They offer almost no sport ,so we fish for real fish which are edible/palitable & a challenge.
Carp aren't food,even goannas & pigs would have to be near death to eat them.
No doubt they were brought in by some pommie expat (we already have real fish thanks).Even today its not uncommon for expats to illegally relocate this threat & start new populations.
As for export & resource,for an example we have over 50 million roos(the lower error bar) at the moment (they are an indigenous 'pest' not imported)they are more palitable ,desirable,& valuable than carp & we can't break even when exporting these.I could start with an abundence of other species to.
Carp can make OK, but expensive fertiliser so costs arent recovered,but subsidised, the fish (raw product)is provided free.
Hornet 6,How many 1000kg's do you want,when & were?
It should be Aus $6 per kg air freight from Aus to UK on Qantas.Bulk rate.
Destroying this pest is a positive,Australians never wanted or imported them (that was your mob),save your critique for a subject you understand next time.
