That style of fishing is used for research and breeding mainly. It only stuns the fish for a couple of minuits which gives enough time to collect specimens . I have seen it on TV a few times over the years.
Yep shit alright,spent alot of time in an around south west rivers.We call them carp,they sift through the mud undercutting the river banks and eventually the banks collapse into the river resulting in shallow water full of silt and mud

"electro fishing" how does that not kill native species at the same time? (or are they all decimated by the carp?!)

Goldfish are Carp .
Goldfish are Carp . Selective bred for colours. Let them breed in the wild and they will all revert to looking like the shit they are :-)

Goldfish
Used to catch them in the swamp / pond behind the Old Picton Church here in Bunbury over 50 years back and would think that they are still there
