Let's please keep Tasmania a disease free fishery This information is sourced from Tasmanian Inland Fisheries Service www.ifs.tas.gov.au. Below is a description of the Didymo algae and how you can avoid it's spread. Didymo (Didymosphenia geminata) is a freshwater diatom (algae) that can cause massive algal blooms on the beds of streams, rivers and occasionally lake edges where wave action exists. Didymo has recently been identified in the South Island of New Zealand and consequently the potential for translocation to Tasmania is vastly increased. Didymo can adversely affect freshwater fish, plant and invertebrate species by reducing the number of suitable habitats available to these species. The algae attaches to the streambed by stalks. These stalks can form a thick brown mat that smothers rocks, submerged plants and other aquatic materials. Established mats form flowing streamers that can turn white at their ends and look similar to brown tissue paper. Although the algae appear slimy, it feels like wet tissue paper. Didymo is made up of diatom cells that cannot be seen with the naked eye until large colonies form. It takes only ONE of these cells to survive and be transported to other water bodies for Didymo to spread. Didymo cells thrive in freshwater and as such, the cleaning of equipment in freshwater helps to keep them alive. How YOU can help prevent the spread of Didymo to Tasmania When travelling to Australia from New Zealand, anglers should soak
and scrub all fishing related equipment for at least one minute in either
hot water (60oC), a two percent solution of household bleach or a five
percent solution of salt, nappy cleaner, antiseptic hand cleaner or
dishwashing detergent. If in doubt increase the strength of the solution
and scrub well. Do not use felt soled waders in Australia that have been used in New Zealand (or elsewhere overseas)!! Please clean thoroughly and treat as above any other waders. Waders have been shown to be a very likely cause of didymo transfer. Within Tasmania, before leaving a river, remove all obvious clumps of algae and look for any hidden clumps. Leave this material at the river site. If you find any material later, do not wash it down drain. Treat it with the appropriate cleaning methods and place any material in rubbish bin. If cleaning is not practical, completely dry the item and then wait an additional 48 hours before contact or use with waterways. Help protect Tasmanias inland waterways and report any unusual algal bloom sightings. For our clients, we provide all the gear that's needed, and for those anglers who want to fish without a guide, we have gear for hire or purchase. |
