Re: Tilapia - Eat to help control?
lou..i think the biggest problem is enforcement..on many occassions i have seen people at npd taking tilapia not only whole but in buckets with water unfortunately when i explained to them it was illegal the message didnt get thru(the poor bastards couldnt understand english).at any time ,if fisheries really gave a damn,or took it out of the too hard basket they would find plenty to prosecute at npd.contact fisheries ha!! tried that when i came across overzealous cast netters,sorry nobody in the area.bloody middle of the prawning season and not a fisheries officer available..the LOGAN.??cheers alex

Re: Tilapia - Eat to help control?
as they are mouth brooding if you want a feed of them fillet on site and throw the rest into the appropriate bins that way the eggs wont spread through our water system

Re: Tilapia - Eat to help control?
they are a farmed fish food source in some asian countries from memory...
i took some once without realising what they were and put them in my fish tank... took them about 2 months to reproduce... made quite an entertaining aquarium species... but they ended up going to the cat..

Re: Tilapia - Eat to help control?
I wasn't aware that they are in the Cabbolture river.
Midnight fish stocking society strikes again.
Unfortunately, some misguided souls who think they're a great fish to catch/eat have no problems spreading them o new waters.
