MAXING UP MARRON!!! 💪
We've dropped 50,000 more marron in South West dams this month. 🙌
The one-year-old crustaceans were bred at Aquafarms' Capel hatchery as part of a recfishing licence money-funded stocking program that will see 300,000 marron stocked in the South West over three years.
More marron in the fishery will help future-proof stocks, result in better marroning and bring us closer to Recfishwest's vision of an expanded marron season. 🤩
