Good news from the catchment generally. The IFI team has been monitoring the principal
spawning streams in the catchment with, at first reckoning, excellent results!

and recorded

The stop nets are fixed - about 20 metres apart.

The fry are counted and measured.....

We observed one of the operations on the middle Commeragh last week, where in just 20 metres of stream almost 1000 salmon fry were recorded!!

....the team move through with the electro fishing nets

fry are placed in buckets. Note the aerator!
