DANCING FISH

If a journalist would like a very interesting picture they should photograph DOC poisoning Brown Trout in a Wellington stream to give native species a chance to thrive. While we applaud the goal, Rotenone is an interesting toxin.

Fish can die in a frenzy. We have seen a video of carp eradication where those eradicating the fish nearly got clobbered by the big brutes as they literally flew from the water in attempt to escape the effects of the poison. Its like tipping acid into the water. Ugly but super effective.
