Dhufish growth on a tagged speciman
Submitted by Just1morecast on Fri, 2016-03-11 07:10
Hi all,
Last week i jigged up a tagged dhufish which had a tag put in on 1/1/05 at a size of 550mm i then got her on a placy on 6/3/16 measuring at 760mm. Just goes to show how slow they actually grow and definitely gives me a better understanding with whether i want to keep them big girls or not. We also found that both dhuies we got 7/13kg had heaps of roe, breeding time now?? Just a heads up i thought some would be interested in. Lets all do our bit for dhuies for the future.
Sha

Hi Scott, no it didnt show
Hi Scott, no it didnt show that much info on the page. Just who tagged it and at what size. If anyone knows a J Pallet get them to contact me. We can work out rough location. Hat off to you Scott any others who do the tagging. We need to care a little better for them for future years

What's your recapture rate?
A mate has been very active up here for many years tagging, gets a lot of recaptures on mulloway ( boy, don't they do some travelling), and tailor, not very many on Dhu. Mortality is very high even on fish handled best practice, they just don't do barotrauma well. Definitely not catch and release, get your bag and do something else for the rest of the day.
