North Australian FISH FINDER forums

I was looking at the Sydney Harbour seafood limits (fish from the harbour are affected by pollution) and it is interesting the four worst fish are tailor, bream, mullet, silver biddie and squid.

I would have thought the big predator species would be the more affected, but not so.

Good thing about living in the Top End, mostly very clean, healthy fish!

That's not a lot when you look at prawns and crab either, 600g and 750g, that's easy to surpass up in the north.

Not keen on the statement:
"No fish or crustaceans caught west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge should be eaten"

Do the fish and crustaceans know not to venture to the other side of the bridge

Yes, looks like prawns are right up there.

You are right about the fishing moving around. I'd be eating rump steaks in Sydney
