Our Fish Stocking and Enhancement team recently released the first batch of Dusky Flathead fingerlings for the 2025-26 marine stocking season.
Just over 30,000 juvenile flathead have been liberated into Lake Conjola and Burrill Lake, two popular Recreational Fishing Havens on the NSW South Coast. We’re hoping to stock even more flatties into St Georges Basin over the coming weeks.
These flathead fingerlings are produced for the NSW Governments Marine Stocking Program by Narooma Aquaculture, with this year’s successful stocking marking the fifth year of the program.
As well as flatties, we have some exciting updates about Mulloway stocking coming soon!
