Herpes to Kill Carp

Agree with the muddy taste, not unlike other muddy inland fish like trout etc.
I was given some at a country show, lightly battered and fried, and then the fish type was revealed. It proved that they can be eaten, but tend to agree that fertiliser is probably best way!

If you want to make some money, get into the rainwater tank business in Adelaide ASAP I think....

I would have thought everyone in the lower end of the Murray-Darling already had a rainwater tank, the tap water has been putrid for decades.

The Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) the European Carp herpes virus, has been shown not to cross species to mamals and has been approved for use as safe by the European Commission. (See: https://blog.csiro.au/reclaiming-our...om-feral-carp/)

Sounds legit! I won't worry any more then ;)

Anyone who has seen sexua lobster's Pleasure Island would be familiar with the mad scientist (talking about an evil mutant creation):
"It was fashioned with the DNA of man, beetle, and eel, and the spleens of 10 tigers! I educated it with pictures of me in a dress, and then I gave it herpes!"

Given the Pleasure island video series, I can't help but chuckling at this.

Its a conspiracy lead by Big Science in a plan for global domination of humans by giving them carp herpes. The trial is in the Murray River, because weird things always happen around Adelaide* so no one would notice people wandering around with carp lips.

Those who do have concerns, don't have to worry because Adelaide is also the city of churches so when they're fleeing the Human-Carp zombie apocalypse won't have far to go to seek sanctuary! :wasntme:

Hey! I can see that as new Kellogg's animal character to replace Tony the Tiger et al - albeit 1-1/2 times as big.

I wonder what plans are in place to collect and dispose of the dead carp?
