AMC students and university graduates join the fight to eradicate carp from Lake Sorell
The Inland Fisheries Service (IFS) receives regular requests from schools, universities, and interested graduates looking for work experience in the freshwater fisheries field. The Carp Management Program (CMP) is especially sought after, as the work the students are involved in is very diverse. Over the past few months we have had numerous students from the Australian Maritime College volunteer with the program, where they were involved in a range of activities. These include repairing barrier nets on Lake Sorell, tracking tagged transmitter carp, assisting in the surgical implantation of radio transmitters into carp, setting gill nets/fyke nets, and staging the gonads of carp.
