European carp numbers are rising as floodwaters expand across the Darling River system, which could spell the end for many native fish.
While flooding was initially seen as a huge positive for native species after recent mass deaths on the Darling, University of New South Wales ecologist Derrick Cruz said it was a double-edged sword.
 

"Native fish will definitely benefit to some extent, but we also expect to see an increasing number of carp," he said.

"If only one per cent of carp eggs survive to adulthood, we're still facing an influx of potentially millions of carp across the Murray-Darling over the coming years."
