Carp removed from<br />
beauty spot lake<br />
THOUSANDS of carp have been removed from <strong>Frodsham</strong><br />
beauty spot Crowmere Lake.<br />
The work was carried out by a specialist, licensed<br />
<strong>co</strong>ntractor engaged by the Town Council, following<br />
a study of the lake and acting on the advice of the<br />
Environment Agency.<br />
This study showed that the lake was too small and<br />
too shallow to support the carp population and that if<br />
action wasn’t taken there was a risk of many of the carp<br />
dying, either through oxygen starvation or through the<br />
carp themselves turning cannibal because of their being<br />
insufficient food available for them.<br />
The carp have been removed to a more suitable<br />
location and the <strong>co</strong>ntractor will now be restocking the<br />
lake with native freshwater fish.<br />
Removal of the carp should also end years of problems<br />
at Crowmere due to anti-social behaviour by anglers<br />
fishing for the carp - often late at night.<br />
