Driving Action 6: Managing Fish Translocation and Stocking
Highlights
Review of Trout stocking in South Australia
Following the completion of a review of Trout stocking in South Australia in 2003–2004, recommendations were made to Cabinet regarding changes to the stocking of Trout in SA. The stocking of Trout in SA has now been altered such that six rivers will continue to be stocked, Three of these are in the SA MDB: the Finniss, Hindmarsh and Currency Creeks. All other rivers of the SA MDB will be closed to the stocking of Trout immediately. Stocking of the approved rivers will be reviewed after 10 years based on the results of monitoring and research programs.
