THE Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has reported some really good news for native fish populations.
Naturally spawned Murray Cod larvae has been detected for the first time ever in the Campaspe River.
The recent catch isn’t the only big news from the Arthur Rylah Institute, with bass numbers up at Gippsland and Murray Cod numbers up in the Mitta Mitta River since record stocking by the Victorian Fisheries Authority.
Meanwhile, self-sustaining trout cod populations in the Ovens River have been found to be expanding to other areas after reintroducing the endangered species.
