NT Fisheries staffer Steven Matthews recaptured the 113.5cm barramundi a few kilometres from where it was initially caught. The fish was originally caught during the 1998 Barra Classic, by NT Fisheries staffer Phil Hall. Fisheries Minister Kon Vatskalis said the double catch was an extraordinary event. This is unbelievable. The barra was recaptured only kilometres from where it was first tagged 12 years ago by fisheries staff, said Mr Vatskalis. The barra is the longest to be at liberty in the history of the NTs tagging program by more than four years. It is estimated that the barramundi is now 13 years old and has grown about 66cm in this time, averaging 5cm a year. The fish was released again and swam away healthy, and we look forward to hearing about its recapture in the future. Tag recaptures provide valuable information that assists NT Fisheries with the management of barramundi stocks.
