NSW bream tagging insight
A window into the wacky world of the estuarine bream that keeps coming back for moreResearch using acoustic tags on bream in NSW estuaries has shown that yellowfin bream display small residences or home ranges. From these areas they make feeding and breeding migrations, but interestingly they possess the ability to locate their original residences following these excursions.
This means that if you think that you are recapturing the same fish from the same snag at your favourite fishing spot, there is a good chance that you actually are! Bream are typically diurnal, meaning that they are more active during the day with obvious peaks in activity associated with day time high tides. More bream research results will be revealed by NSW Fisheries in coming weeks.
The bream research to date was undertaken through the NSW Coastal and Estuarine Fish Tracking (CEFT) Project – a partnership between NSW DPI, the University of NSW and NSW recreational fishers (with funds provided by the NSW Recreational Fishing Saltwater Trust, the Australian Research Council, and NSW DPI).
