I don't normally reply to trolls... Worms are good bait for yellowbelly and a chunk of meat tied to string is a fun way to catch yabbies... Regardless what you say, that is a FACT.
Or do you mean the carp? - From Department of Primary Industries, Government website - quote
Carp have been introduced into Australia both deliberately, in an attempt to imitate the European environment, and accidentally, through the escape of ornamental or aquaculture fish.
In Victoria, the stocking of carp began as early as 1859, but early stocking attempts were not successful. In NSW, the earliest known introductions occurred near
Sydney in 1865. In the early 1900s, fingerlings were used to establish several wild populations of carp around
Sydney, including in Prospect Reservoir (where they still persist).
end quote.
Carp are by far the most farmed (for food) fresh water fish. China alone produces more tonnage of carp as food than all other aquaculture fish worldwide combined (including trout and salmon). 70% of all fresh water farmed fish worldwide are carp.
I am impressed though, you managed to spell embarrass correctly ;)
