Tilapia Problem in the Waterways

Click here to read more about the Tilapia

Commonly referred to the rabbit of Queensland’s waterways Tilapia are part of the Cichlid Family of fishes and come from the warm, fresh and brackish waters of Africa, Sri Lanka, Southern India and parts of the Americas. They are classified in Queensland as an exotic pest fish and are declared noxious (meaning harmful and unwholesome to the environment).

A representative of Queensland fisheries visited the Club recently to inform members about options for ridding the local waterways of this pest, and to gather feedback from local fishermen about the problem. Various alternatives were outlined, and the dangers of the menace making its way into local river and estuarine environments were highlighted.
