the primary industries (Pirsa) have been restocking cod fingerlings in the lower Murray River over the last couple of years and
I have finally noticed a change we were told the cod are treated with a uv dye so that they could monitor survival rates of the young and while I have heard all about it I had not seen anything , until last weekend we were using a shrimp net to catch shrimp for bait and every time you pull the shrimp net up there were masses of small fish in it if you look at them in the sunlight they have a ultraviolet glow and it disappears when they are in shade so I guess they are the uv cod fingerlings. the location where we were fishing there were heaps of them but they were still very small hopefully they survive the perils of being a small fish and manage to grow up as I would love to one day catch one of these amazing fish
cheers guys tight lines
