Record 8 million fish stocking
More than 8 million fish were stocked into Victoria’s lakes and rivers in the 2020/21 season. This is a milestone achievement enroute to 10 million in 2021/22.
The stockings were funded by recreational fishing licence fees and the State Government’s $35 million investment to get more people fishing, more often.
Of the 8 million fish stocked, around 1.5 million were salmonids such as rainbow and brown trout and chinook salmon. The remaining 6.5 million were native species such as Murray cod, golden, silver and estuary perch, along with Australian bass.
