        Aquaculture Fisheries Resources for Restocking
        Under the Fisheries Act 1994 and the Fisheries Regulations 2008 a person must not
        unlawfully possess or release aquaculture fisheries resources, noxious fisheries resources
        or non-indigenous fisheries resources into Queensland waters without the appropriate

        approvals from Fisheries Queensland.

        Fisheries legislation and policies relating to the release of aquaculture fisheries resources
        for stocking purposes, such as the Translocation Policy, must be considered in the
        practice of rearing fish for stocking purposes. The main purpose of these provisions is to
        ensure that fish released into Queensland waters have the same genetic make-up as
                                                                                                wild

        fish in the areas in which they are released. This means that the integrity of identified
        sub-species or genetic strains where appropriate must be maintained iffish are to be used
        for stocking purposes.
