wheres the proof? or is it just an assumption?
Exactly
Where’s the warm artesian water?? Maybe we can go on an expedition with thermometers fishing rods and kayaks be prepared to pay a fine though
i went there and even some more when i had the permit. i didn't mark even one fish!!
no need for thermometers if you have a sounder.
i didnt mean to come across as rude, just thought you might have fished the area recently hence why i asked..
i personally would have though they would be cactus by now..
If they are alive that’s where they will be.When the permit was happening they were mostly in that area. Now who knows

Its my opinion there most likely well dead.

They only way they could be alive if there is warm water being pushed out through the springs underneath

If thats the case they maybe out off the pzul worlsing excvlusion zone and ne hoveting around that warm water

If there is any they will be shut down and very dormant trying to survive.

BM my info is the artesian water is up past the PW zone towards the station pumps. This is where fish were relocated to still likely they are dead.

Were the fish physically netted and moved there? ?
Let's hope some have survived..

IF there are any Barra remaining and IF there is this SUPPOSED area of warm water in the pondage one possible positive is that the Tilapia will have also moved to where the warmer water is so at least any remaining Barra will have something to eat. Tilapia are a little more tolerant of cooler water than Barra but also cannot survive cold water. This is just as well otherwise we would have Tilapia spreading to other rivers and lakes in Victoria just like they are doing in Queensland. Tilapia are also prolific breeders and can tolerate poor water conditions that will kill most other fish.

From memory around 600l/s of 54degC water is still diverted to the pondage to dewater the mine, however it will be a fair bit cooler by the time it gets there.
