Abstract
Recreational fishing for barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), is a major contributor to the economy of Queensland, generating an estimated $A 8 to $A 15 million per annum. The Queensland Department of Primary Industries is investigating the feasibility of enhancing barramundi populations with fish produced in fish hatcheries. Cost benefit analysis of the Department's stocking of baaamundi in Lake Tinaroo indicates that each dollar spent on the programme generates a potential $A 31 of economic benefit to the Queensland economy.
