Barra fishing in Sydney!
« on: February 22, 2013, 06:31:51 PM »
Got this in an email from DPI today, wonder if they will survive the Winter.

NEWSCAST
an information bulletin for recreational fishers from Fisheries NSW


Fish Stocking update

DPI has recently received reports of species such as Barramundi and Silver Perch being caught in the Sydney region outside of their natural range. Fish introduced into waters outside of their natural range as a result of unauthorised releases can spread disease, prey upon and compete with existing fish for habitat and food and in many cases may die if not suited to those environmental conditions. A fish stocking permit is required to release fish in NSW public waters and all stocking applications are assessed to ensure that the proposals are appropriate. Permits for approved stockings are issued by DPI free of charge. Anyone with an interest in fish stocking in public waters should contact us on (02) 4916 3835 or online

The Barra are being stocked by particular ethnic groups as part of some sort of religious ceremony. It's supposed to be good luck to release a live fish to celebrate whatever it is. Barra are the fish of choice for some reason.

I don't have the specifics but I believe the guys have investigated a few illegal stockings of this nature.

The fish will perish when the conditions change.
