AFTER several years of highly technical behind-the-scenes work, NSW DPI hatchery experts say they have “cracked the code” when it comes to developing and refining mulloway breeding technology.
The end result of this work is the successful stocking of 90,000 mulloway fingerlings into two key recreational Fishing Havens – and DPI says there’s plenty more to come.
The DPI’s Port Stephens Fisheries Institute marine hatchery team has been working with wild-caught mulloway broodstock – which are notoriously fickle and difficult to handle – and earlier this year managed to produce a successful spawning event, resulting in thousands of mulloway eggs which eventually turned into fry and then healthy fingerlings.
