Just to let you know we have to protect mother nature, and be real serious about it  Veenendaal. A man who last year release 280 goldfish in a local canal has been sentenced to catch them or have the RVO do it at his costs. Seems the goldfish may breed with the local crucian carps, a species which then may disappear. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucian_carp |

So he's down at the local aquarium shop buying 280 more goldfish I take it?
In Australia it's illegal to catch and release European carp. Common to see them dead on the banks of rivers cause no one will eat them although I've heard pickled the meat is tasty. Never tried it personally.

I believe they have fishing comps targeting those rotten Euro-trash terrorists of the waterways. Prizes for biggest bag caught etc. trying to eradicate them.
Feel sorry for the native animals over there what with the competition from all the vermin (read "illegal immigrants" of the animal world) like cats, pigs, foxes etc.

Carp were introduced to Australian rivers to provide sport but they eradicated the local species

Why don't Aussies eat the carp. In the UK fishing clubs and parks have real problems with E. Europeans poaching carp. Angling pals told me on my last visit in 2006.

What happens if he can't catch them?
It's not as if they'll all be knocking about the same place he dropped them off at and just jump into a net or on a line.

Usually full of mud apparently from the bottom of rivers. We did a seismic job near the Jackson Oil Fields in SW QLD years ago, boss took some "square hooks" out there and netted a big, mud coloured billabong, caught a heap of good size yellow belly, Golden Perch. Cooked some up on a bbq that night, meat was as white as snow and tasted as good as any reef fish. (middle of winter) Was surprised it did not have that "muddy" taste. One time I caught some similar fish in a friend's dam, beautiful clean water that you could drink. I think they were Silver Perch. Took the fish home and cooked it up, could not eat it, even the bloody dog screwed his nose up at it. (middle of summer) Years later a guy who worked for the government, in the Dept. of Agriculture and Fisheries explained to me it has nothing to do with how clean the water is, what causes that foul taste is the temperature of the water. When the water reaches a certain temp a fungus grows in the fish, a fungus which cannot survive in colder water. |
