Best Answer

The first type of carp to be introduced to Australia was an ornamental strain of the European carp which was brought to Sydney between 1850 and 1860.

Shortly after this, a Singaporean variety of carp was introduced into the Murrumbidgee River in 1876.

The main reason for the decline of native fish numbers in Australia is the introduction of the European carp. This invasive species was introduced into Australia during the 1800s.
