At
present, we have 67 stocking associations throughout Queensland as member
groups. Since the start of the stocking program 10 years ago, these
associations have stocked over 15 million fingerlings into some 70 dams
weirs and river systems. The Queensland government has contributed another
7.2 million fingerlings. Our stocking groups continue to stock on an
annual basis. Remember, these are largely put, grow and take fisheries.
The majority of species do not spawn in impoundment's. These fisheries
are entirely dependent on regular stocking.
Support
the stocking program by joining your local fish stocking group.
