did and one see in the news that there are 2headed bass in brizzie

G'day
It's actually on the noosa river, in the bass larvae, due to chemicals used in macadamia farms.
Dave
Yeah, I think it's pretty wrong and gross.
I Fish, I catch, I SNAG
Obviously a Tasmanian Bass on holidays!!!
Ian
Ps I didn't think there were any Bass in tassie but i must have been mistaken
I'm sure Ausfishes two headed expert ,Blaze will let us know
Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but i sure do enjoy the argument!!!
Ughh more mutated fish. You'd need 2 hooks to catch one heheh. Also this needs to stop maybe the government will put something into order

Here's a good video clip that explains it well.
The press can stretch things a little. There's more here:

Ian,
I resemble that accusation !!!!!!
Brett
it cannot be good for the noosa waterways. What else in the food chain is being disrupted from breeding efficiently? What long term effects could there be on the higher end of the food chain....
The youtube video from Aussie123 states the Americans have banned the chemicals being used by Maccadamia farmers in 2001. Why is Australia so bloody slow to act?
It appears that now this has gone public the DPI are getting involved so there's definately a lot of fact behind this.
Shame they did not jump this quick 20 odd years ago with the cotton farmers.

As a result of this problem all fish stocking has been suspended into waters controlled by Queesland Bulk Water Authority trading as Seqwater. These waters are those that were formerly controlled by these authorities:
This pretty much covers every dam in South East Queensland.
- Aquagen
- Beaudesert Shire Council
- Brisbane City Council
- Caboolture Shire Council
- Caloundra City Council
- Esk Shire Council
- Gold Coast City Council
- Kilcoy Shire Council
- Maroochy Shire Council
- Noosa Shire Council
- Redland City Council
- Pine Rivers Shire Council
- SEQWater
- SunWater
Lets hope the issue is resolved quickly
But the Noosa River is where the 2nd lot of brood stock come from!
Here's what the channel 7 news had to say...they have turned it into a real "human" health issue, with a possible cancer cluster in the area. This can only help push the investigation along quicker.
