Growing Out
Australian Bass spawn in salt water and travel downstream in the winter months to produce their eggs in the coastal estuaries before returning to their freshwater environment. They are relatively slow growing taking anywhere from 18 – 24 months to reach edible size depending on their environment. They are a solitary fish that respond best to low density stocking rates in the average farm dam.
On The Plate
This hardy native is an excellent all round table fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. In fact many freshwater fishermen consider them to be a strong rival for the Barramundi due to their firm white flesh and suitability for any style of cooking. They are certainly regarded as one of the best native freshwater fish to grace any plate.
