Recommendations regarding fish species suitable for stocking tributary rivers/streams (cold waters) and responses from the Advisory Group in-line with the code of practice regarding species introductions

The purpose of this document is to archive the recommendations of the project to introduce four cyprinid fish species into the Sepik/Ramu catchment for purposes of fish stock enhancement. Coates (1990a) outlined the reasons 1 and justification for stocking the river basin. Coates (1990b and 1991) detailed proposals to stock the basin with four species (two translocated within Papua New Guinea and two new introductions) all of which were lowland, warm water species. The present four species are a ll recommended for tributary rivers at higher altitudes.
