2016-2017 Native Fish Stocking Plan for Dams and Lakes
2016/2017 NATIVE FISH STOCKING PLAN FOR DAMS AND LAKES There are many impoundments and reservoirs suitable for native fish stocking throughout NSW and over the last two decades a large number of excellent recreational fisheries have been established. To ensure that the best use continues to be made of publicly funded fish stocking programs, Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is seeking input from people who have an interest in the State’s stocked native freshwater fisheries. The attached draft native fish stocking plan has been prepared for consideration by the recreational fishing community. Fish are stocked from Government hatcheries as a service to the anglers of NSW. Locations are selected based on recent stocking history and experience with those waters. The plan is also developed in accordance with the policies and guidelines set out in the Environmental Impact Statement and Fishery Management Strategy (FMS) on freshwater fish stocking in NSW. The water quality and storage status of impoundments will also be assessed prior to stocking and where necessary changes will be made. Please note: Planned fish release figures listed in the attached tables are targets only, and may be exceeded, or not attained, depending on hatchery production. Other seasonal factors such as water quality issues or unforeseen circumstances could preclude planned fish releases. As a result, allocations may be amended prior to release. Impoundments are listed as Priority 1 or 2. Priority 1 impoundments support large recreational fisheries or have not received stockings in recent years. Priority 2 impoundments are either smaller fisheries, suffer intermittent water quality issues or have recently received large stockings of that species. -

Newstreams a NSW DPI Newsletter for Recreational Fishers and Others Interested in Improving Fish Habitat to Build Native Fish Stocks
Newstreams A NSW DPI newsletter for recreational fishers and others interested in improving fish habitat to build native fish stocks No 4. September 2006 About Newstreams Newstreams is an email newsletter to keep people up to date about NSW fish habitat activities, and about important aquatic habitat developments in Australia and around the world. It is published electronically every two months by NSW Department of Primary Industries. In NSW many estuarine and freshwater habitats for juvenile and adult fish have been degraded or lost through urban, industrial and agricultural development. Communities around NSW are now working actively to restore fish habitat. News Murray re-snagging project launched The first stage of a Murray River re-snagging project was launched on 19 August when MDBC chief executive Wendy Craik released a Murray cod into a re-snagged area near Corowa where DPI staff had placed 40 snags. The project will re-nag three sections of the river with 4000 snags to create 100km of connected habitat for fish to swim and breed between Lake Mulwala and Howlong. When finished, it will be the biggest re-snagging venture in Australia. Project funding has been provided by the Australian, NSW, Victorian, and South Australian governments through The Living Murray program. Project partners are North East CMA, NSW DNR, NSW DPI, DSE Victoria and MDBC. For more information contact Jenny Fredrickson at [email protected], 02 6042 4208. Lock 10 fishway opens on the Murray Four fishways are now completed at Locks 7, 8, 9, and 10 between the SA border and Mildura, with Lock 10 fishway opening this month. -

The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency.
