Never having caught a kingie in the bay, how seasonal is that protozoan infection that turns the flesh to mush, and how many litres of antibiotic per fish is necessary to treat same?

Hi guy's.
Dead in the water???
I hope so, but looks like the DPI are really pushing it as a "developmental" industry. There have been a few small snippets in the Courier Mail recently and as far as they are concerned it is a goer. Only the EPA are yet to comment.
There is a site "Friends of the Bay" or something like that where you can e-mail letters to the various pollies. I think you put it up awhile ago Jaybee?
The bay is in enough trouble without more pollution.
Say NO to fish farm in the bay

The usual tactic of slowing things down and hoping that the opposition will wear out so they can go ahead anyway
