BASS EXTERMINATION
I heard that there was something on 50/50 about a new substance/toxin that is bass specific and aimed at clearing rivers of this species. Can't find anything on the interwebs. Anyone have any details ?

Re: BASS EXTERMINATION
I highly doubt it that there exist any toxin that is THAT species specific ... don't think we are that advanced yet in our development of chemicals.
In any case, as far as I know the conservation authorities have also seen the light and moved away from implementing their ambitions plan to rid all our water bodies of exotic fish.

On the contrary. They are seeing more light in the W Cape, with reintroduction of Clanwilliam y fish and others indigenous species while working on control and eradication of vermin like carp and bass, in the Oliphants and tributaries.

Realistically I just cannot see this happening as described by some conservationists ...

Re: BASS EXTERMINATION
The aliens are here to stay - trees wasps and fish. There is just no way to get rid of them completely. Just no way.

Re: BASS EXTERMINATION
Rotenone (?) Can be used in small enclosed waterways to kill all fish in an area. E.g. the Ratelspruit in the Cederberg. There is a stretch protected by a waterfall. Then the river is restocked with indigenous fish.
You cannot use it in a dam like Sterkfontein too much water volume. There we just kill bass as we catch them.
