Classification of Victorian Inland Waters
Fisheries Victoria has worked with members of the Victorian Recreational Fishing Peak Body (VRFish) on behalf of the recreational fishing community to prepare a model which can be used by Fishery managers to classify all rivers, streams and impoundments across Victoria as either ‘salmonid’, ‘native’, or ‘mixed’ fisheries.
The model will initially be applied to rivers, streams and impoundments of North East Victoria (as defined by the North East Catchment Management Authority boundaries) in line with the ‘North East Fishery Management Plan’.
Classification of this region will be the first step in a statewide application of the model, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year
The development of the model is in line with Fisheries Victoria’s commitment to secure, grow and share potential benefits from Victoria’s inland fisheries with the wider community.
The Victorian Inland Waters Classification Model will be an important part of fisheries management in Victoria for the next ten years.
