   the fish in the river on my property are fucking shockingly big. I don't know what it was, but I watched a 2 meter Murray cod swim by the bank. There's a lot of other species, too. Sadly, goldfish are present also.

     @Guide Any fish on the Noxious Aquatic Species list that you catch, you are obligated under the law not to return them to the body you took them from. Goldfish and many others are on this list.
     
     You can't really make a goldfish specific trap, you can only kill them as you catch them. You can make traps that don't do harm to the fish they catch though, old style basket traps for example. I'll be doing plenty to cull the local goldfish and other NAS populations.
     
     It's a good source of fertilizer and food for the animals I'll be keeping.

     There any programs under way from removing them? Specific traps you can set out to catch just goldfish?

     @SpaceElf @Guide Someone put golfish in our watering trough and I’m pretty sure they’re as big as koi by now
