[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 120883, member: 17032"] That's interesting Brian. Are these run of the mill European Carp ? If so, they were introduced into our river systems with the new settlements of the 1800's era. and have done very well. In fact they are considered our rivers #1 pest species, as they greatly disturb the riverbanks, food sources, promote algae growth, squeeze out other native species. Fishing for them is quite popular, along with native Callop, Murray River Cod, mostly that are catch and release by sports fishermen/women. However, while it's not illegal* to return live Carp to the water, it is strongly discouraged by our fisheries authorities. 2 states it is illegal to release live European Carp, and one can be fined for doing so ! From memory, Queensland is a fine of around $200,000 (GBP 111,330), in Victoria too, not sure of the fine there. Here in my home state of South Australia, you can't put them into a private dam or lake, or any other non native fish. Enjoy your fishing and droning, hopefully the covid situation there can settle a bit more and not have lockdowns recurring. [/QUOTE]
