Anglers around Darwin and Palmerston may have noticed a few little green boxes pop up at their favourite fishing spots. Sitting unobtrusively attached to jetties and posts close to the water, waiting to be investigated by passing fishos. They have been installed to ensure the future of fishing in the region.
OzFish has established strong partnerships with The University of Queensland, Sunshine Coast University, and Griffith University to conduct in-depth research on the functionality of shellfish reefs, their environmental impact, and their suitability as habitats for fish. Leveraging modern technology, monitoring these reefs both above and below the water’s surface is relatively simple, yet the true discoveries are found within the Robust Oyster Baskets (ROBs).
OzFish recently partnered with Goulburn Murray Water and North Central Catchment Authority, embarking on an exciting mission to transform the underwater ecosystem of Point King Bay at Lake Eppalock. It is a popular destination for recreational activities and supports a diverse range of wildlife, making it a valuable natural asset for the area.
Many species of fish need to migrate at some point in their lifecycle to breed or get access to more resources for survival. Fishways are an effective solution as they retain the function of essential infrastructure while also providing passage for fish.
