Golden Perch’s scientific name is Macquaria ambigua.
Also commonly referred to as Yellow Belly, Golden Perch are an excellent choice for stocking farm dams. These fish are prized for their great eating quality and sport fishing appeal. Golden Perch can grow up to 75 centimeters and weigh as much as 23 kilograms, though they are considered best for eating when they weigh between one and two kilograms.
Golden Perch are prolific breeders, capable of laying up to 200,000 eggs per kilogram of body weight in a single spawning. They thrive alongside Silver Perch in dam environments, feeding on yabbies, shrimps, insects, and small fish, making them an integral part of a balanced ecosystem.
Golden Perch fingerlings are available once a year at Narrabri Fish Farm between January and March, ready to be introduced into your dam to promote a thriving aquatic habitat.
When you receive your fingerlings open the foam box and remove the heavy duty plastic bag containing the fish, do not untie the bag until you are ready to release them. Float the bag on the top of the pond/tank water for approx 10 mins or until the water inside is about the same temperature.
Open the plastic bag by untying or cutting it carefully. Gradually mix the pond/tank water with the bag water until the bag is full, tip the bag into your pond or tank and the fingerlings will soon swim out into their new home.
