On the Moonie River in South - West Queensland, a team of Indigenous rangers have been setting specially designed fish nets to catch introduced European Carp.
These carp make up around 80% of the biomass in Australia’s river systems and cost the economy an estimated $500 million per year.
The Federal government have delayed a formal carp eradication program, dubbed ‘Carpageddon’, which involves the introduction of a carp herpes virus, giving researchers more time to plan, and better understand the virus and its impact on native species.
