Salmonid Fish Releases 1987-1992

Note number: FN0121
Published: March 1998

This Fisheries Note replaces Victorian Fisheries Notes Nos. 1, 2, 13, 24, 85 and 90 by consolidation of most of the information contained in those six separate NOTES. It also incorporates the information on fin-clipped fish releases presented in Victorian Fisheries Notes Nos. 26, 86 and 91.

The month/s of release are included but space constraints precluded presentation of detailed reference to size of fish released other than the notation of Fi (Finglerling), Y (Yearling), ADY (Advanced Yearling), 2 (Two-year-old) and 3 (three-year-old).

In the original individual VFNs the size of fingerling, yearling and advanced yearling fish were referenced by a number which could be checked against a provided table of average length and weight of fish released. This information is available as all replaced VFNs can still be supplied to meet specific requests.
