Barra spotted in Sydney Harbour!

Fishing World, 25 Jul 2015.

SNOW in the Blue Mountains and near freezing temperatures in Sydney didn't scare this barra, which was spotted over the weekend sunning itself in Sydney Harbour, writes Fishing World. Barramundi are one of Redmap's 'species of interest' to look out for - like the Redmap barra sighting pictured here. However, this sighting in Sydney Harbour could have more to do with a deliberate (and irresponsible) release. Barra prefer water temps over 20°C, with 13°C being lethal. Time will tell whether this individual will survive the winter before water temps rise in the lead up to summer! Read the story in Fishing World.
