Keen Anglers Required.


The Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Queensland.


The Fisheries department are looking for more fish frames from Queensland Anglers to support their ongoing research of the Queensland Fishery.


Currently they are seeking offshore species frames from Snapper, Pearl Perch and Tergalin, but continue to need frames from Spanish , Spotted and Grey mackerels. From the estuary and bay anglers, Tailor and Yellowfin Bream are required.


The scientists need many more frames to assist with their research which provides vital information to fishery managers. Some monitoring results from 2011 can be found here:-

You may wish to partake in the Volunteer monitoring program.


A 3.49 minute YouTube video from Creek to Coast on Fisheries Queensland Volunteering programs can be found here:-





It is easy to donate frames. The Keen Angler program manager can deliver to you a “ KIT “, which contains H/duty plastic bags, labels, pencil, zip tie. All you have to do is keep your frames from the target species and drop them off or call the department and they will collect them.


There are many drop off points from Gladstone / Yeppoon south to Currumbin
