Proceeds from the Carpathon go to restocking Murray Cod and Golden Perch into the Murrumbidgee River in the Jugiong area. The proceeds from the 2016 Carpathon purchased 2000 Murray Cod and 6000 Golden Perch, which were released in February and April. The committee are hoping to match these numbers with the money raised from the 2017 Carpathon.
