That politician just described his colleagues perfectly.

next time itll be a video about how a virus introduced to kill carp ended up evolving or adapting to killing other fish.

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 in Poland is a royal fish. A great sport fish and tasty served on Christmas Eve

Just sent this to South east Asian countries 😋

What a contrast to the UK & most of europe. In the UK the market for carp is massive. Fishing for carp here is huge, with anglers going for two week holidays just to fish for them. Catch & release of course.

I don’t live remotely close to Australia but got damn their mini documentaries are so good.

From an American, I wish you the best of luck with your carp battle! I know the Emu War shook the Australian morale but this is your chance for redemption

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!

In Czechoslovakia, a fried carp is served as a Christmas dish. It is a traditional food. Carp is usually a target fish for hobby fishermans and it is eaten.

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.

I think between fertilizer, the pet food industry and human consumption would help reduce them. Like all fish they are nutritious. I don't believe in introducing a virus.

Put carp on Heated stones from a camp fire 🔥 splash of oil, salt and pepper then when it’s cooked throw the carp in the river and eat the stones

Wow Barnaby just perfectly described himself.

Carp is a delicacy in my home country 😀

I wish we have that in that Philippines, im sure that carf i will be endanger

Am not Australian. Watched the whole series with an open mouth. Waiting for the next episode about feral chicken). Hard to believe men nowadays r struggling with tons of food.

I absolutely LOVE cooking fish with bone-in, head on. Adds a lot of flavor, retains the moisture and the whole experience of picking your meal apart is actually primal and very satisfying. 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.

I really surprised while watching this video. Here in the Philippines, we have the same carp but never had a problem like yours. In fact, we really have a tough time catching them. They are some kinda special freshwater fish for us and they are fantastic especially when you roast them, eat them raw with vinegar and soup. Unfortunately, they multiplied numerously in your country not here. Just sharing. Anyway, thanks for this video.
