Journeys of a Lake Eildon Golden Perch Issue 136, 6 January 2005 ISSN 1443-0592 Journeys of a Lake Eildon Golden Perch To monitor the broadscale movement of stocked golden perch in Lake Eildon, researchers from PIRVic (Snobs Creek) implanted battery powered acoustic tags into several golden perch before releasing the fish back into the lake. Researchers captured one of these perch, that came to be known as ‘Number 5’, in Goughs Bay in September 2002 and subsequently released him in the Delatite Arm. Although researchers located this fish in the Delatite Arm of Lake Eildon for three months after release, he then disappeared for three weeks until an angler caught him in late November 2002 back in Goughs Bay. The angler had placed ‘Number 5’ in their live-well and had not noticed the dart tag protruding from the fish’s shoulder until later in the day, by which time he was fishing in the Big River Arm of the lake. The angler had subsequently released the fish in the Big River arm and later called PIRVic to report the capture. Researchers confirmed the angler report by finding ‘Number 5’ in the Big River Arm soon after, however the fish did not remain there long as researchers were unable to find him on return visits. Knowing that ‘Number 5’ had exhibited ‘homing’ behaviour once before, the researchers focussed their search effort and successfully located him again, back near Goughs Bay in January 2003. Once again though, ‘Number 5’ did not stay put, with researchers being unable to locate him in Goughs Bay after January 2003. ‘Number 5’ re-appeared in October 2004 when he was captured by researchers undertaking trout research in Woolshed Bay. Interestingly, he was captured along with a school of other large golden perch. In summary, ‘Number 5’ had been caught 3 times, once by an angler and twice by researchers. He had travelled back to the Goughs Bay area twice, once from the Delatite Arm and a second time from the Big River Arm. Researchers have completed the fieldwork component (tracking) of this project and a full report, including movements of other tagged perch, is expected in 2005. Improved Life Jacket Laws Will Save Lives A marine safety review designed to curb the death toll on Victorian waters has recommended that lifejackets, or Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs), be worn at all times by the occupants of powerboats up to 4.8 metres in length. The review also recommended that PFDs be worn by the occupants of powerboats between 4.8 and 12 metres in length, and all 'keel' and 'trailable' yachts at times of heightened risk – for example, when boating alone, at night or in hazardous conditions. The review, by Marine Safety Victoria (MSV), follows the death of 53 recreational boaters on Victorian waters in four years, 15 of them last year. Research by the Monash University Accident Research Centre found that of the 40 people killed as a result of boating incidents on Victorian waters between 1999 and 2002, 32 were not wearing lifejackets. Research also shows that the majority of boating fatalities in Victoria over the past 15 years have involved vessels under 4.8 metres in length. The review's findings were in line with recommendations by the State Coroner that PFD regulations be tightened to address the increasing number of boating fatalities on Victoria's waters. The Coroner has said that PFDs may have prevented most of the fatalities on Victorian waters in recent years. MSV's review and recommendations have taken into account more than 3,000 submissions from members of the public, the boating community and stakeholders. The proposed changes to PFD regulations do not apply to commercial operators while operating commercial trading and fishing vessels, or to boaters taking part in organised events and races. For the past two years MSV has increased its emphasis on boating safety education, even specifically focusing on the use of PFDs. Unfortunately, however, these efforts have not led to any significant decrease in the number of recreational boating fatalities. Before any changes are made to current PFD regulations, MSV will provide members of the public and the boating community with further opportunities to provide their feedback. A Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) will be available for comment in April 2005. It is anticipated that any necessary changes to current PFD regulations will come into effect on July 1, 2005. Full details of the proposed changes are available at www.marinesafety.vic.gov.au, by phoning 1800 223 022 or by emailing [email protected] Recreational Fishing from Charter and Hire Boats and with Fishing Guides A Recreational Fishing Licence (RFL) covers all forms of recreational fishing in all of Victoria's marine, estuarine and fresh waters. Unless a person is exempt from the requirement to hold an RFL, a licence is required when fishing from a charter boat, hire and drive vessels, and/or through fishing guides. The RFL is available from many DPI/DSE offices, the DPI website at www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fishing, and more than 950 retail businesses throughout Victoria. The 48-hour and 28-day RFL can also be purchased at over 280 Shell Touch outlets. © State of Victoria, Department of Primary Industries 2005 Reproduction is authorised – call 136 186 for conditions.

Issue 137, 20 January 2005 ISSN 1443-0592 $ 900,000 to Safeguard East Gippsland Heritage Rivers In September 2004, Minister for Water John Thwaites announced that $ 900,000 would be spent on protecting two of Victoria's most valued 'heritage' rivers. The Mitchell and Bemm Rivers are among the highest value waterways in Victoria and are officially classed as 'heritage rivers' under the Heritage Rivers Act. Both rivers are essential nature conservation areas, and have immense recreational, social and cultural value for Gippsland. The rivers are currently at risk from willow and weed pollution, riverbank erosion, and loss of natural habitat. The funding was part of $ 100 million invested in protecting and repairing rivers across the state over the next four years as part of the Bracks Government's Our Water Our Future action plan. The East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority and the Department of Sustainability and Environment will carry out the work, as part of the Victorian River Health Strategy. Inland Enforcement News A person from Cohuna was convicted and fined an aggregate of $ 3,200 and had all of their seized property forfeited for using/possessing commercial fishing equipment without authority, possessing fish taken illegally and for taking fish during a closed season. The offences were committed on Pyramid Creek near Kerang. A person from Narre Warren and another from St. Marys in New South Wales were fined $ 400 each for taking/possessing trout during a closed season. The offences were committed at Lake Dartmouth in Victoria’s northeast. Four people from Sunshine and Broadmeadows were fined $ 400 each and had all seized property forfeited and destroyed for using/possessing commercial fishing equipment without authority, possessing/taking undersize fish and taking more than the catch limit. The offences were committed at Lake Mokoan near Benalla. Another person from St. Albans was fined $ 750 for similar offences at Lake Mokoan. A person from Springvale South was fined $ 100 for possessing undersize fish and possessing more than the catch limit. The offences were committed on the Tambo River in Gippsland. National Strategy for the Survival of Released Line Caught Fish The National Strategy for the Survival of Released Line Caught Fish is an initiative of the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) in conjunction with the Australian National Sportfishing Association (ANSA) and Recfish Australia. The strategy aims to improve the understanding of, and increase the survival rates of, fish that are caught on lines and then released. The National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey, undertaken in 2000, estimated the recreational finfish catch in Australia at 107.7 million fish caught of which 47.3 million (43.9%) were released. The National Strategy involves projects aimed at the following outcomes: 1. Improving the survival of released line caught fish through: • A better understanding of the effects of capture on various species, • Increased adoption of best practices in handling fish prior to release. 2. Improving fisheries management through: • A reduction in the total mortality of released line caught fish, • Inclusion of estimates of survival rates from recreational catch and release in fisheries stock assessments. During 2003 there was a national campaign to promote best practices by recreational fishers in releasing fish. Prior to the campaign, a survey was undertaken to assess attitudes and practices in releasing fish. After the campaign had finished, a follow up survey was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of the campaign. A survey was also undertaken of tackle outlets to see if there had been any changes in the sales of tackle that improves survival rates such as knotless landing nets, circle hooks etc. The follow up survey showed that: • 35% of those surveyed had changed their practices as a result of the campaign. • 40-50% of the suppliers surveyed reported that sales of survival friendly gear had increased in 2003. All the data collected showed the campaign was very successful and that behaviour had changed. A non-technical summary of the project, plus other information about line caught fish that are released, is available from www.info-fish.net/releasefish The released fish website has recently been improved and many of the ‘Fact Sheets’ have been standardised and based on the best available scientific data with improved reference to material from which the information was derived.

  • Wimmera-Mallee-WRP-Part-4.Pdf
    4. Water resources Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Part 4. Water resources This part outlines the key water resources and features in the Wimmera-Mallee Water Resource Plan’s surface water area: Wimmera-Avon, Avoca and Mallee, as well as the Wimmera-Mallee Water Resource Plan’s groundwater area resources. 4.1 Managing water resources: types of water resource supply systems Rivers in the Wimmera-Mallee water resource plan area vary from unregulated, like the Avon and Avoca rivers, to regulated like the Wimmera River. All rivers in the Wimmera-Mallee water resource plan area are undeclared. 4.1.1 Unregulated surface water systems An unregulated catchment is one that does not contain a storage such as a dam or weir, which significantly alters and regulates the flow of the river downstream. An unregulated catchment may contain rivers, creeks and small waterways, and in the case of several unregulated catchments in Victoria, can extend well over 1,000 km2 in area. Unregulated catchments are all undeclared which means that entitlements are bundled. Therefore, an entitlement includes rights to allow both the take and use of water. In unregulated catchments entitlements to water include take and use licences and bulk entitlements (see Chapter 6). All water taken for commercial or irrigation purposes from unregulated catchments must be licensed, including water taken from harvesting dams. The licences are called take and use licences or section 51 licences after the relevant section of the Victorian Water Act. The use of water, and trade of licences between users, is managed by Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) in accordance with Ministerial trading rules (Minister for Water, 2014a).

  • 13. Recreational Values
    13. Recreational values Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Part 13. Recreational values 13.1 Recreational values in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan The Basin Plan cites a number of considerations regarding recreational values of water including: Schedule 1 – Basin water resources and the context for their use • Item 26: The water resources of the Murray‑Darling Basin are used in agriculture, non‑ agricultural industry, meeting critical human water needs and normal domestic requirements, for recreational and cultural purposes, and in maintaining freshwater ecosystems. • Item 32: The resources are also used for water sports, wider recreational activities, to attract visitors to particular regions, and for visual amenity. • Item 39: An estimated 430,000 people use Basin water resources for more than 5 million recreational fishing trips a year, with a most likely direct expenditure estimate of $1.35 billion (DPI, 2011). Recreation and tourism use of Basin water resources is generally non‑consumptive, but depends on a degree of ecological health. Ramsar‑listed wetlands are significant tourist destinations. The objectives and outcomes in the Basin Plan include: • 5.02 (a) Communities with sufficient and reliable water supplies that are fit for a range of intended purposes, including domestic, recreational and cultural use Water quality management plans prepared as part of meeting the Basin Plan also require consideration of recreational values: • 9.07 The water quality objective for recreational water quality is to achieve a low risk to human health from water quality threats posed by exposure through ingestion, inhalation or contact during recreational use of Basin water resources. • 9.18 The water quality targets for water used for recreational purposes are that the values for cyanobacteria cell counts or biovolume meet the guideline values set out in Chapter 6 of the Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Water.

The East Gippsland Shire Council managed the construction of the three fishing platforms along the lower sections of Clifton Creek to improve access for shore-based anglers keen on chasing bream, luderick or flathead. The new platforms offer environmental benefits too, by reducing bank erosion and thus improving the overall aquatic health of the river. The three platforms, best accessed from Eastwood Estate, are adjacent to recent urban development and are linked by a walking track. Victorian Recreational Fishing Licence revenue funded the construction of the $20,000 platforms through the annual Recreational Fishing Grants Program. Funding from the last round of the Australian Government’s Recreational Fishing Community Grants Program will see another three fishing platforms constructed along the creek’s foreshore over the next six months. Since the commencement of the Victorian Recreational Fishing Grants Program in 2001/2002, almost 200 projects totalling over $6.7 million have been funded to improve freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities in Victoria. For more information about the Program or previously funded projects visit the Recreational Fishing Grants Program page.
