Why have Australian native fish numbers declined?
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. European carp carry diseases such as Asian fish tapeworm that can affect the native fish. They also disturb the riverbeds and creekbeds in Australian waterways, which interferes with how native fish feed.
