So out of those 9,600 fish, how many do actually get recaptured and what do you do with that information and how is that collated?

So the tagging program is a really great example of recreational fishers being engaged in the science.

And some of the concerns that you raise are absolutely valid.

You've got to process the fish quickly and not every fish is always a candidate for tagging.

And we generally do say if the fish is injured, let it go as quickly as possible.

Yep.

But the tagging program, and particularly in the Daly River, it is a really important data set to understand the recapture rates, the growth of fish, the correlation between the strength of the wet season and the recruitment of fish in that given year and the growth of those fish, fish movement.

What are some of the changes you've noticed in fish water habitat? Have you got any concerns? There's been lots of talk around biomass of certain fish species
