Just a bit of interesting information on golden perch. As a few have commented on the very different fish in different parts of the country.

There are three strains of golden perch; one from the Murray-Darling system, one from the Fitzroy-Dawson system and one from the Lake Eyre drainage. The Lake Eyre strain is actually considdered a different species, but hasn't been formerly described yet.

Because most of the fish in impoundments have been stocked from hatcheries, they are generally either Murray-Darling or Fitzroy-Dawson strain.

I am looking to fish for the Lake Eyre strain for some breeding trials that I want to do for work, but don't know anything about the rivers that this species lives in. I am in Townsville, North Qld and know that the Hughenden area has the strain that I am after, but would appreciate a heads-up on likely rivers and how to get to them if anyone out there knows.

PS Sorry about writing this in two separate threads, I stumbled across this thread after creating the last one.

Cheers,
Leo
