The Native Fish Conservation is participating in a carp fishing event in
Texas. The purpose of this event is to remove invasive carp from the
waters
of Texas. An estimated two tons of carp are going to be removed from the
waters. However, organizers do not know what to do with all these dead
fish. Does anyone here know how to turn fish into a safe organic
fertilizer?


2 tons is too much to attempt to bury under plants in the garden. With that
kind of volume, I suspect you'll need to sell the stuff to the kinds of
companies buy waste from fish processing facilities and turn it back into
fish food and other stuff. Most of them are fairly low key, so you probably
won't find them on the internet, talk to commercial fishermen and canneries.

Why not just eat the Fish?

Some people do. I was always taught that we don't eat carp because they are
bottom feeders. But then, I was taught the same thing about catfish and
catfish is popular now.

I've never seen it, but it sounds pretty funny.

It's a terrific movie, but one you hate to say you "enjoyed."

Bury it in the garden. One reference cites 6,000 to 8,000 fish
(menhaden) per acre. This was apparently a trick settlers learned from
Native Americans. Advertise 'Free Fish Fertilizer' in advance of the
cull, and see how it goes.

The Indians used to bury a fish head and plant one corn seed on top of
it. Excellent natural fertilizer. You could bury the fish, but may
want to place chicken wire over it to prevent animals from digging
them up. After a couple months the fish should be well decomposed
into (very) rich compost.

A cat food company (or cow feeed company) will give you money for the
fish. Then use the money to go buy organic fertilizer.

They will compost very well in sawdust and produce a nice organic soil
ammendment.
Farms do entire hogs this way
I think if you web searched some variety of "animal carcase
composting" it would put you right on the mark.
