Aquaculture bids to enhance Western Australian kingfish stocks

5,000 yellowtail kingfish fingerlings grown in the Western Australia’s marine finfish hatchery in Fremantle have been released off the Perth coast.
With an average weight of around 100 grams each, the fingerlings were released last week. It will take around 18 months for them to reach the 600 mm minimum size limit to be caught by recreational anglers.

Working with Recfishwest over the past two years, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development Aquaculture Research and Development team has capitalised on their extensive knowledge and experience with the species.

So far 75,000 yellowtail kingfish have been stocked as part of an enhancement project for Perth's metropolitan waters, and the team has also grown fingerlings for commercial production and for research into health and nutrition.
