External Features of the Fish
Barramundi can be identified by many features, however the three most common features is the distinct pointy head, concaved forehead and large jaw extending behind the eye.
The Barramundi has a very large jaw that extends back past under its eye.

Fishing Equipment
When fishing for Barramundi, you should use a 6-15kg braided mainline rigged up to a bait caster. Bait casters are ideal for Barramundi fishing as they are light, easy to handle, strong and provides a more accurate cast than other rods when aiming for certain spots. It is said that the most common fishing method to catch Barramundi is by using hard-bodied lures with a slow jerking motion when reeling the line in with random hard jerks. Anything from soft plastics, hard plastics to bait can be successful when targeting Barramundi. …show more content…
This is usually best to do at dawn, late afternoon and dusk. Estuary places like creeks and rivers and tidal flats tend to be the place where large female Barramundi populate. Look for spots where food for barramundi is collected all together like the mouth of the creek or where the current changes direction.
Fishing Legislation
Like most fish barramundi have fishing legislations put in place to ensure the population of the species is not wiped out. The size limits for Barramundi is a minimum size of 58cm, maximum size of 120cm, and a maximum bag limit of 5 fish for each person. For recreational fisherman and women a closed season for the Barramundi is put in place all the way across Queensland’s East Coast from midday the 1st November to midday the 1st of February. This closed season helps to prevent people from fishing at certain times of the year to protect species at vulnerable times in their life cycle, such as spawning

Australian Aboriginal Culture

...alternative of sub-incision for their own particular sexual awakening (Jane Oceania, 2010). Amid the ritual, the young girls were told related myths by the older folks and obtained extra information about Aboriginal religion to set up the young ladies for their marriage. While the marriage ritual and introcision were with fellow members of the tribe, personal rituals were for women before and after menstruation. Because of the threat of sickness, women have to remain apart from their family camps for three to five days (Jane Oceania, 2010). Their skin would be painted with “red ochre by their female kin and they would not be allowed to consume any taboo foods during times of menstruation and pregnancy such as porcupine, snake, turkey or barramundi”. This foods are often consumed by young men during their coming of age ritual or initiation (Goodale, 1962:664-667). While marriages did happen young, aboriginal women gained economic reciprocity for their dedication. The male would give gifts to the family of the woman from the moment of betrothal onwards. The promised lady is not needed to offer endowments to the male or make any tributes. On the off chance that the female is panicked by their spouse or of his old age and flees, she is returned over to her family and is permitted to take sexual partners before deciding to wed once more. (Goodale, 1962:664-667). Despite this, Aboriginal marriages in general do not allow freedom of choice in marriage because most marriages are chosen...

Fish Farming

...Fish farming Fish farming or pisciculture is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. Fish farming involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. A facility that releases juvenile fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species' natural numbers is generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide, the most important fish species used in fish farming are carp, salmon, tilapia and catfish.[1][2] There is an increasing demand for fish and fish protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries, China holding 62 percent of the world's fish farming practice.[3] Fish farming offers fish marketers another source. However, farming carnivorous fish, such as salmon, does not always reduce pressure on wild fisheries, since carnivorous farmed fish are usually fed fishmeal and fish oil extracted from wild forage fish. The global returns for fish farming recorded by the FAO in 2008 totalled 33.8 million tonnes worth about $US 60 billion.[4] In 2005, aquaculture represented 40% of the 157.5 million tons of seafood that was produced, meaning that it has become a critical part of our world's food source even though the industry is still technically in its 'infancy' and didn't really become well known until the 1970s. Because of this rise in aquaculture, there has been a rise in the per capita availability of seafood globally within the last few decades.[5] Major categories of...

Environmental Pollution at Hindustan Lever’s Kodaikanal Plant

...Environmental Pollution at Hindustan Lever’s Kodaikanal Plant In mid-2004, Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL) executives looked back at the events of the past three years at their mercury thermometer factory in Kodaikanal in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. After mercury leakage from the plant had been reported in March 2001, heavy expenditure had been incurred in environmental risk assessment, waste disposal and health monitoring. The expenditure had exceeded the total profits generated by the plant since its inception. But the pressure from NGOs, led by Greenpeace[1], who had been protesting since March 2001 had not subsided. The NGOs had indulged in novel ways of keeping the issue alive. These included chaining themselves to the HLL branch office in Chennai on 15th November 2002, disrupting the Annual General Meetings (AGMs) of HLL held on 13th June 2003 and 29th June 2004, shouting slogans and brandishing placards and enlisting sympathy from ex-workers and the general public. Greenspace also maintained the pressure on HLL through its website, photoalbums, posters, persistent media briefing and seminars. The NGOs had most recently attacked HLL in April 2004 in a seminar in Chennai. Even as they waited anxiously for the regulator, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board’s (TNPCB) nod to start decontamination of equipment and remediation of soil, HLL’s senior managers believed they had discharged their duties conscientiously. They wondered what more was needed to be done to...
