In freshwater impoundments, such as Manton Dam in the Northern Territory and Tinaroo Dam in Queensland, barramundi were introduced for the enjoyment of recreational fishers. Here, you can find barramundi weighing over 20 kilograms and over 100 centimetres long, however they are all males. Because of this, restocking is the only way to replenish barramundi
populations in these freshwater impoundments.
