(Q about legal fish imports)
I have travelled a bit and have been fortunate and been able to visit many cool and interesting places ..
When able I would always try to find the local creek river etc and wade in and see what I could catch ….while I have not been able to do this in Perth ..Just yet !!!
I was wondering if many are as crazy as I and have collected from the local systems in Perth.
On my last trip while in syd I managed to visit a local river sys that runs just meters away from the Lucas height nuclear reactor off shot of the Georges river sys. It was pristine environment (funny that hay) seriously this place was magic. On this trip we collected many local fish and even some of the local Blue tongue lizards and water dragons.
Some of the more interesting fish etc collected were
1-stripy gudgeons www.amonline.net.au/fishe...tralis.htm
2-fire tail gudgeons www.amonline.net.au/fishe...hgalii.htm
3-long finned eel www.amonline.net.au/fishe...inhard.htm
4-Cox gudgeons www.amonline.net.au/fishe...gcoxii.htm
5-Pacific Blue eye www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/psignifer.htm
6-Climbing Galaxias www.amonline.net.au/fishe...gbrevi.htm
Unfortunately we also collected mosquito fish and sadly the place was full with CARP rrrrrrrrrrrrr…lucky in this location the Fire brigade have installed a small dam to collect water from ..So about half the river sys is still native (up from this dam) Carp sighted were all seen below this dam ..So hope its enough to keep them out for good.
So the question really is what’s in our local streams etc in Perth ..Anyone have any experience doing this !!!
Note that we did not keep any of the fish caught !! Pics were taken and information recorded for the use of a talk in ANGFA NSW ..So all were put back were we caught them.
Be good
