Develop effective tools for sensitive monitoring of river ecosystems from the potential risks of agrichemical run‐off. Where agrichemicals are found to have unacceptable toxicity risks to the ecosystem under practical conditions of use, withdrawal from market is an option. Until clear outcomes are in progress, the Sunland Hatchery will continue to manage the agrichemical contamination risks experienced whch resulted in the last five years of fish health and production failures through support from Biosecurity Queensland and the hatchery’s private veterinarian ‐ Dr. Matt Landos, using a Hatchery Spray Drift Protection Program. This program entails ‐ a. Protection of all water sources within an enclosed structure. b. Protection of all fish and algae production units with screens or covers to minimise drift of pesticide and other agricultural chemicals. c. Use of an alternate site for the sustainable production of grow out sized fish. d. Use of an alternate site for the production of food items for larval fish eg. algal and zooplankton. This program has successfully resulted in the production of healthy and fecund Australian Bass, silver perch and golden perch fingerlings for sale in late 2009 and early 2010. However, this mode of biosecurity adds considerable costs to the production of fish for restocking groups and aquaculturists because of increased labour inputs to carting clean water from the Ringtail ponds, transportation of normal fish to Ringtail, decontamination procedures for utensils and equipment of the hatchery at Gilson road and increased monitoring of macadamia plantation spray activity.
