GIANT 100KG FISH RETURNS To Australia's Largest River – What Happened To The Carp Shocked Scientists
This documentary investigates Invasive Carp Australia through the Murray–Darling Basin, where carp once dominated some waterways and exploded after major floods. As Murray Cod recovered in restored habitat, researchers confirmed that these massive native fish do eat invasive carp—but the science revealed a much more complicated story.
From Carp Control and Carp Invasion Australia to Judas carp, exclusion screens, genetics, and the proposed CyHV-3 virus, the video explores how Australia is testing multiple strategies against Invasive Fish Australia. It also looks at the wider challenge of Invasive Fish, Invasive Species Australia, Invasive Species Control, and the risks created when humans try to manage Invasive Animals at ecosystem scale.
Invasive Carp Australia is not a story about one predator solving everything. It is a case study in Ecosystem Restoration and Nature Based Solutions—and why rebuilding natural systems may work best when combined with careful science.

Murray cod numbers especially big cod have increased due to upper size limits introduced nearly 20 years ago.
Fish kills in the darling river were the result of government mismanagement of waterways and corporate water theft.
