23.01.2022 Congratulations to the Larrakia Land and Sea Rangers who were awarded the Indigenous NRM Award at last night’s ceremony. Fisheries NT is proud to support and work alongside the Larrakia Rangers on multiple projects.

19.01.2022 Planning to pull up stumps on the edge of the road for a spot of culvert fishing this weekend? Culvert fishing can be a lot of fun for you and the family, but don’t let the excitement of chasing a hungry Barra cloud your judgment. Besides the risk of oncoming traffic, crocs can be found in any waterway including flooded drains and shallow water. ... Be Crocwise and stand back from the waters edge when fishing the culverts. For more information on being Crocwise visit https://bit.ly/2E9YbMr

19.01.2022 It looks like a cloudy weekend ahead, with possible storms right across the top end coastline. If you’re out on the water, be sure to have all the correct safety equipment on board and remember to stick to your possession limits. For more info: Visit the NTG website https://bit.ly/2IvivMS and be sure to check in with the Bureau of Meteorology for the latest weather before getting out on the water.

18.01.2022 Little mate Riley has got the right idea! Just because a fish is small doesn’t mean it’s not worth keeping (or taking a photo with). Many small reef fish you release are unlikely to survive, as they may have suffered internal injuries caused by barotrauma. So, remember when its deeper than 10 size doesn’t always matter ...

18.01.2022 What are you chasing this weekend? The key point to remember is if you are fishing in water deeper than 10 metres or more, keep the reef fish that you catch (within possession limits) and utilise them, because released fish are unlikely to survive due to barotrauma. We promise a Stripey tastes just as good as a goldie once it's been on a BBQ

17.01.2022 What do fish sing during the holidays? ..... Christmas corals!!! Merry Christmas from the Team at NT Fisheries! ... Feel free to share your terrible fishy themed bonbon jokes below! See more

13.01.2022 How many fish can you count? The artificial reefs are in full bloom! Our researchers at NT Fisheries are putting together a full species list of the fish that have built their habitats at the four locations around greater Darwin. We’d be interested to hear about fish you have caught around the ARs and your experiences in the area. ... While you’re out there, please think before release as some species are not suitable for catch and release on the reefs.

12.01.2022 As a part of our Marine Pest Monitoring program, the biosecurity team recently conducted their quarterly settlement array check in. These settlement arrays are scattered across marinas and wharves across the Top End in areas where there is high vessel traffic, both in Darwin and remote locations. The settlement arrays allow for early detection of exotic pests in Darwin waterways. ... Luckily this time around no pests of concern were detected on any of the devices! As an extra added bonus, the team also found a large Pen Shell (Pinna deltodes) which had called a rope mop home for 6 months at Cullen Bay Pontoon.

12.01.2022 SOUND ON This is a weekend public service announcement from our pal, Snooza! Happy Friday!

12.01.2022 We’re closing our doors over Christmas! Our office will be closed from the 25th of December until the 3rd of January. From everyone at Fisheries NT, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!... If you are putting together a seafood banquet, support local fishermen and NT caught where you can.

12.01.2022 Wild about whiskers! Where some Fishos are targeting Barra during the runoff season, Threadfin Salmon are a very welcome substitute as far as tropical creek and estuarine species are concerned. The two most common species of ‘Threadfin Salmon’ are the larger king threadfin (aka threadies) and the smaller blue salmon. Both species of threadfin are members of the Polynemidae family, a group of fish adapted to life in muddy water... Both species have distinctive whiskers, it’s believed they act as sensors on their to help taste their prey before striking, meaning they can be fussy eaters when it comes to lures. Show us what you’ve got share your Threadies below!

12.01.2022 If you spot anything fishy while you’re out on the water this weekend, take down some details: What happened Where did it happen When did it happen A description of the boat or vehicle ... Then, give the Fishwatch Hotline a buzz on 1800 891 136.

11.01.2022 One year on - Artificial Reefs are the reel deal! Deployed across the greater Darwin region shortly before Christmas 2019, nowadays our 5m high concrete structures no longer look so bare. Over 40 different species of fish have been identified so far, including a range of juvenile snapper species, Jewfish and large schools of trevally and mackerel.... Please remember when fishing on ARs: - Respect the other users - Motor slowly when approaching an AR or changing locations - Think before release Cheers to the next 99 years of our artificial reefs! #Thinkbeforerelease #NTFisheries #fishguardians

11.01.2022 An acrobatic display that’d put a Barra to shame! Despite the fun of the fight when reeling in a queeny, they are not always considered as a great fish to plate up. The pack mentality and competitive nature of queenfish means catching a few can be relatively easy. With this in mind, it is best to replace the traditional treble hook on your lure with a single hook or squash down any barbs to help with release.... What are your thoughts, are you a queeny fan - are you a ceviche or sashimi chef?

10.01.2022 Monday night dinner inspo: Ingredients: 400g of fresh Queen fish fillet 4 limes... Salt & Pepper Fresh chilli Olive oil Fresh coriander Amateur Fishermen's Association NT (AFANT) CEO David Ciaravolo suggests adding a sneaky squeeze of fresh Grapefruit juice to the equation Method: - Remove skin and blood line from Queenfish. - Cut into thin strips, pop it in the fridge to keep it fresh and chilled - Squeeze 4 nice juicy limes. - Put your fish into a bowl big enough that you can toss the fish - Add the lime juice - The lime juice will cook the fish for you. - Add a salt and pepper along with the chopped fresh chilli to taste, then add your olive oil. - Finish with a touch of fresh coriander if you like (we know not everyone is a fan) - Put the lot in the fridge and let it marinate for few hours. - This can be served as is, on a bed of mixed lettuce or with a avocado salad to the side, totally up to you.

09.01.2022 Do Fisheries have the largest stash of Sea Monkeys in Australia? Senior Aquaculture Technician Alexander Basford says Sea Monkeys (Artemia) and Zoo Plankton (Rotifers) can best be explained as swimming mouths! They live to eat, then be eaten! ... Rotifers and Artemia are an incredibly important to the projects at the Darwin Aquaculture Centre as they are the ‘first feed’ given to many fish larvae, including the current Barramundi larvae being raised/reared to restock lakes around Greater Darwin. Having a live feed that is nutritious, reliable and consistent means our hatchery procedures will be straight forward and have better success, Alex said. The fish larvae will be fed with these rotifers or zoo plankton for the first five to 14 days before the fish are big enough to be fed a larger live product. The Zoo Plankton and Sea Monkey room at DAC is currently in full form producing enough food to feed fish across the hatchery. Alex estimates when running at full production, a culture tank of 1000 litres maintains a population of around 1 Billion rotifers swimming around!

08.01.2022 You're probably in a food coma... but just in case you're planning a Boxing Day fishing trip The BOM is forecasting storms across the next week, so please keep up to date with the latest weather, winds and tides by checking their website before you head out on the water. Happy holidays

08.01.2022 Small, but deadly? Appearances can be deceiving, when you watch the underwater footage below you likely think these little fish look colourful and charismatic when in fact they are an exotic pest encroaching on our native waterways. Guppies are one non-native fish found in the Top End, and how they got there is no mystery. Most likely people have dumped them or they’ve escaped overflowing ponds during heavy wet season rains. Either way, our waterways are not their natural... home and they can have a massive impact on native NT species. So, if you are planning on getting your little ones some guppies or aquarium fish for Christmas, please help protect our native species, keep them in their tanks and don’t dump your fish !

08.01.2022 Happy New Year from NT Fisheries! Keep the good vibes rolling into 2021

07.01.2022 Celebrating NAIDOC week NT Fisheries is proud to work together with Marine Ranger Programs across the Top End. The Fisheries Indigenous Community Marine Ranger Program is supported by the Fisheries Division which provides funding, coordination and on-ground support and training to Indigenous Marine/Sea Ranger groups relating to fisheries management, research, bio-security and compliance. ... The program recognises and supports Traditional Owner’s aspirations to be engaged in the management of fishery resources throughout the Northern Territory. The rangers are on the ground and on the water to play an important role in educating both indigenous and non-indigenous fishers about aquatic resource management.

04.01.2022 No great surprise that we are big Australian seafood fans at NT Fisheries

02.01.2022 Whether you use a net, a line or frequently bash the keyboard, we’ve found plenty of fishos manage to muddle their words when it comes to Trawling and Trolling. So which are you partaking in this weekend? Trawler photo courtesy of Australian Fisheries Management Authority
