EIS for Recreational Fish Stocking

Below is the link for the environmental impact statement for the purposed marine fish stocking in New South Wales.  Not a light read, but its very interesting to contrast the management plans for stocking for recreational fishing in Australia versus the US.  The biggest challenge in starting up the stocking program is finding an appropriate brood stock with adequate genetic variation as the majority of brood stocks will only consist of 5 females of each species.
