The
following fish species are likely to be encountered in Australian
impoundments and rivers, depending on the location. They
are either naturally occurring or have been introduced to the
various locations. Many of the species below (eg Bass & Barramundi)
cannot breed in the un-natural environment of man made lakes and
will need to be constantly re-stocked on an annual basis to maintain
numbers. Support your local fish stocking group to help guarantee
your own fishing future.
