So occasionally we get a couple of hundred people and go and fish as many out as we can. They usually end up getting ground up for fertiliser.

Aha! It really is a muster of carp then!

Sounds a right nasty fish. We had Zebra Mussels in the great lakes when I was growing up. They used to dredge for those - also a foreign species.

At least the fertiliser's a good use for 'em.

Thanks for the info - I love finding out new stuff (yeah, I'm a geek),

Believe it or not, some people think that european carp are good eating!
I've never met any personally, but I have heard of some people that like them.
I can't see it myself, and I agree with you Alex....their most useful role is to be ground up and pumped into the soil so that we can have some realllly good tomatoes!!
European carp are vermin that do not belong here.
Go the Carp Muster!!
:)
Cheers!
