Hi,Seeing that 2 people have volunteered that they caught 2 of these fish at Mt Crosby Weir - a no fish zone - is this a confession to illegal fishing & if so do they get reported? Graham
The slow growth rate of the Golden Perch K38704 could be from it being in the lower Brisbane since 99/2000.cheersSteve
Or poor tag positioning did nerve damage, or post tagging infection impacted on growth. Could be any number of reasons for the slow growth..... Not normal growth for a Golden Perch that's for sure...fitz..
These days, pretty much all recreational freshwater tagging is superfluous anyway. Fisheries can justify their extended studies, but the average fisho tagging a fish and releasing it is not really adding anything to the knowledge base now. There are enough fish swimming around SEQ with tags in them.You have to wonder at the accuracy of the growth data when you take the shock of tagging into consideration. If you took a poddy calf and shoved a star picket between his second and third ribs, then set him free, do you think he'd grow up a bit different to his brothers?
So thats it then we have learned all we need to know we have reached the pinnacle if knowledge of fish movements?
Good point, but they could have been outside the no fish zone.... fitz..
