This enormous specimen, caught as part of wetland restoration efforts, highlights the ecological challenges posed by goldfish in urban lakes. Dr. Herath’s secretive work to remove predator species from Perth’s waterways aims to address issues such as disruption of plant life, algal blooms, and disease transmission.
