Brief description
Spreadsheet listing stocked fish species by number, location and dateFull description
Freshwater fish stocking in Queensland is the process of releasing young fish (fingerlings) into dams, weirs and rivers to enhance and maintain fisheries, provide mosquito control and assist threatened fish species to recover. Fish are stocked in Queensland public waters by approximately 70 community-based fish stocking groups that have stocking permits. The Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) scheme provides funding for stocking groups at 32 dams in Queensland. Fish stocking groups also raise funds in the community to stock non-SIP dams, weirs and rivers. Impounded waters such as dams need to be continually restocked because, in most circumstances, stocked species will not reproduce there. Most of the popular dam fisheries in Queensland are stocked each year with fingerlings to ensure the fishery remains successful into the future.Notes
