Please dont dump unwanted fish into waterways.

🐟 Can I fish for tilapia and what are my legal obligations?
There are no laws prohibiting you from targeting tilapia - in fact, we encourage it. However, once caught, tilapia must be killed and disposed of by either burying above the high-water mark near the place of capture or placing in a nearby bin.

If you dispose, or intend to dispose of the carcass as soon as practicable by one of these methods, you will not be in breach of any laws, despite being in possession of the fish for this brief period. Under no circumstances can you take tilapia as a food fish, use it as bait or return it to the water either dead or alive.

By not allowing possession of either live or dead tilapia, we aim to remove any β€˜value’ associated with tilapia and reduce the incentive for the deliberate spread of these fish to create new β€˜fisheries’.

You must always check the local council regulations before fishing in your local waterbodies. Recreational fishing activities are not always permitted, and management of tilapia in these ecosystems remains the responsibility of the local council.
