Why is anyone using Hemlock to stun fish? Given there are dozens of plants that stun fish, it seems odd that folks would use one that's also absurdly toxic to humans.
- culi 4y agoHemlock grows in poorly drained soils (e.g. next to streams) so it's likely very often the nearest plant you can find to use for this purpose
- Alex3917 4y agoMakes sense. I wonder if pawpaw would work. It seems like it might if rotenone works, since they both have the same mechanism of action, but I’ve never seen it listed as a fish poison.
- pvaldes 4y ago> Why is anyone using Hemlock to stun fish? Because they are criminals. This is strictly forbidden in most countries. And because they are stupid and like to play with their own health
