It's been another brilliant year for fish stocking from NSW DPI's Departmental fish hatcheries.
Narrandera Fisheries Centre has so far stocked over 1.15 million Murray Cod with two ponds left to harvest. Highlights include 90,000 to each of Blowering, Burrinjuck and Copeton Dams, 112,000 to Burrendong Dam and a whopping 136,000 to Wyangala Dam! Murray Cod stocking will conclude next week with the team set to move into Golden and Silver Perch stocking from mid-February until late April.
Gaden and Dutton Trout Hatcheries have also been busy with almost 3 million Brown and Rainbow Trout stocked across the state. These have included some ex-broodstock getting towards 10kg that can only be described as truly impressive!
