14/01/2018 LAKE KURWONGBAH

20,000 Australian Bass Fingerlings were released into Lake Kurwongbah at Mick Hanfling Park on Sunday 14/01/2018. 

The release was carried out by Members of the Pine Rivers Fish Management Association Members plus a BAS Permit Holders. 

The fingerlings were released via the “Scatter Release” method ie 1000 fingerlings were taken at a time by Members in their Kayaks and released into different parts of Lake Kurwongbah. Experts agree that the fingerlings have a much higher rate of survival when released via the scatter release method than the spot release method. (ie all fingerlings released at the one spot within a short time frame window) 

Shane King MLA Kurwongbah attended the release

Moreton Bay Regional Council also contributed some initial funds and   continues to supply funds each year to allow restocking of the lake. The focus for this lake will be to produce a Australian Bass, Golden Perch and Saratoga fishery. Fingerlings are sourced from various sources around southern Queensland. The fish are delivered by accredited fish breeders in purpose built transport tankers, In 2008, PRFMA members made four trips to collect stock, the longest trip was over a thousand kilometers and required a couple of days of travel, harvesting and distribution to collect some prime southern strain Saratoga. Even though wet, tired and dirty our guys bought back the basis of a breeding population which we hope will make Kurwongbah a fine Saratoga fishery in the years to come.   YEAR BASS GOLDEN PERCH MARY RIVER COD SARATOGA SUB NOSED GARFISH TOTAL  FISH STOCKED PER HECTARE (See Note 1)                 2007/08 109,180 1,800   193 430 111,603 304.1 2008/09 35,000 20,000 500 150   55,650 151.6 2009/10 30,900 12,875   88 50 43,913 119.7 2010/11 20,500 12,168   79 50 32,797 89.4 2011/12 35,000 18,000   32   53,032 144.5 2012/13 17,900     36   17,936 48.9 2013/14 Note 2             2014/15 21,000 10,000       31,000 84.5 2015/16 20,000 10,000 200     30,000 82.3 2016/17 20,000 10,000 500     30,500 83.1 2017/18 20,000         20,000 54.5   TOTALS   329,480   94,843   1200   578   530           426,631                   Note 1: Fish stocked per hectare is calculated at Full Supply Level with a lake surface area of 367 hectares Note 2: No Stocking carried out due to the proposed repairs to the Dam Wall - Water level to be dropped to 50%                 2007/2009 The Creation of a New Recreational Fishery $51,240       RECREATIONAL FISHING COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAMME     Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry   still plenty of permits for boating permits on NPD available at http://www.prfma.com.au/boating-access-scheme Cheers Ray

Gee there's been some numbers go in over the years. Well done to the management and helpers.

[Drop Bear]

Great work. That is such a fantastic effort. 

[Dinodadog]

I like the early numbers that end in 01 or 21 or 22, they must have counted them one by one ha ha

That sounds time consuming and inaccurate. I suspect they could run them down a shoot? How do they count them now?
