Golden Perch
(Macquaria ambigua)
|
Golden perch is another Australian native freshwater fish which has firm and tasty flesh and excellent eating qualities.
Carnivorous, eating mainly Yabbies and shrimps, insects, molluscs and small fish.
The Lake Eyre strain can be weaned easily onto artificial feed and are well suited to aquaculture systems. The fish are remarkably tolerant of poor water quality, able to withstand water temperatures of 4 to 37°C, and salinities up to 33,000 parts per million (almost that of sea-water).

Silver Perch
(Bidyanus bidyanis)
|
Silver perch are an Australian native freshwater fish that are quite hardy and can tolerate a range of water quality parameters.
This is a premium quality eating fish, which has a mild flavour, moist, white flesh, with very few bones and a high meat recovery of up to 50%.
Carnivorous when young, the diet changes to mainly vegetarian in larger fish. Silver perch can utilise low protein diets based on plant & meatmeal proteins.
This species is highly suited to intensive culture because of their ability to be raised in high densities, general hardiness and high survival (>90%) rapid and uniform growth (2g/fish/day), willingness to accept artificial feeds, its non-cannibalistic nature, high meat recovery (40%), excellent eating qualities, and its ability to utilise a number of natural food sources (omnivorous).

Barramundi
(Lates calcarifer) |
The barramundi is one of Australia's most popular foodfishes. Barramundi yield attractive, boned-out fillets that can be served whole or as cutlets. The large flakes provide good-sized portions and the firm texture makes it a versatile finfish to work with.
Naturally a carnivore, feeding mainly on smaller fish as well as crustaceans. Juveniles take smaller fish fry, smaller crustaceans and aquatic insects.
Barramundi start life as males, reaching maturity at around 3 to 4 years of age and later change gender and become females, usually at around age 5. Small fish are almost exclusively male with the percentage of females increasing with overall length.
Barramundi are excellent aquaculture candidates, it is a relatively hardy species that tolerates crowding and has wide physiological tolerances juveniles are easy to wean to pellets, grow rapidly, reaching a harvestable size (350 g – 3 kg) in six months to two years.

They readily adapt to artificial feeds are relatively tolerant to a wide range of water quality conditions and have efficient food conversion and fast growth rates and can reach 600g in 9-12 months.
