Carp news...

[AtW]

An otter has plundered over £10,000 worth of koi carp from a devastated couple over the last four months.

Anne Newiss and her husband John have had over 50 of their prized fish killed and eaten - including one "pet" they had for 32 years - by the voracious predator.

Mrs Newiss, 68, of Hopton, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, said: "It's been absolutely heartbreaking."

Killing an otter is punishable by a £5,000 fine or six months in prison.

Shame they didn't keep flat fish. "otters eat our soles" would have made a good tabloid headline.

Was wandering round a nearby nature area by a reservoir the other day and saw a notice about ? (forget what) failing to establish in the area due to predation by Mink and they were hoping to get some otters into the area to reduce the mink and allow the (?) to thrive.

After seeing your posts I'm wondering if they have forgotten that otters eat ? as well, all gets a bit complicated with bloody things eating other bloody things.
