Rats and more rats

Just got back from the Ord last week (post to come) thought I would try my luck on some local barra.

Need some samples for a mate who is running some tests on our local barra.

Weather report was good even though it looked like water temp had dropped a little.

Headed down early to catch the bottom of the tide and timing was good ended up with six in the boat largest being a 71cm model.

Caught on a mixture of casting and trolling lures it was a great little session

NotePays to write to on your sample bottle container though........LOL

DNA testing

Sun, 2012-11-18 10:39

 

Hello POC, 

not sure if you were aware, Mark Allen (Port Hedland) has previously undertaken DNA sampling of Barra, right along the Pilbara coast in conjunction with the Curtin university. There may be a data base for reference if that's what your friend is looking at.

Regards Leith.
