Good post Seafearer, thought provoking

1 large female released = how many fingerings released?? Cost????

Not sure that being tank bred they would be welcomed into the wild gene pool?

Cheers

kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out

Hi.

It actually wouldn't be a bad idea.

Net off part of dams with mesh the baitfish can swim through.

Most of stocking is voluntary work.
They probly wouldn't mind doing a bit extra??.

Most of us only let them go again. anyway.
If they'll survive in the wild. It would be doing everybody a favour.

the dam barra grow quicker and are all male so you're not killing a breeder anyway. they need saltwater to change sex and spawn

All big dam barra are males as they need salt water to turn into females.
