Whoops, looks like someone doesnāt,t know what they are talking about.
Saw that. Itās as sad as ā ā ā ā , and when you look through the photos you see that thereās some big fish that have been killed, fish that have survived decades of weather/water extremes but couldnāt survive this.
Itās not very well known how much of a sheltered workshop inland river systems are these days, from an ecological point of view. Cod only spawn naturally when floods occur at the right time of year and with the right temperature of water, and due to irrigation and dams that basicallly doesnāt happen any more.
Damn near all the cod in the murray-darling system these days were spawned at Narrandera haatchery and instroduced into the river as fingerlings. Itās an ecosystem kept from collapse purely by artificial means, because people want to be able to catch fish occasionally. (And yes, Iām saying that as a fisherman)
I canāt reiterate this enough, having lived in that region (Griffith, Murrumbidgee about 60ks from Narrandera) and speaking first hand to cotton and rice growers.
They had to switch from broad acre crops to save their farms. Itās the only profitable crop they can grow there now, Grains donāt yield like they used to because of climate change, and citrus has no profit due to importing.
This literally a case of one group of peopleās survival over anotherās as a direct result of climate change and bad/lack of government intervention.
