Plants That Can Stun Fish? Aboriginal Fishing Method ! #shorts

Some Aboriginal Australian communities used certain plants containing natural compounds to temporarily stun fish in small waterholes.
When crushed and placed into the water, these plants released substances such as saponins that affected fish gills, causing fish to become slow and rise to the surface where they could be collected by hand.
This method was carefully controlled and typically used in small waterholes so fish populations and waterways were not permanently harmed.
This practice shows deep knowledge of plants, ecosystems, and animal behaviour developed over generations.
