Last year during a fisheries talk on translocation some farmers in WA
expressed suprise when told about the detrimental things dambusia will do.
Many farmers and farming consultates appearantly were advising other
farmers that dambusia were great for cleaning out the damns, feeding the
trout, feeding yabbies, feeding native fish too!
