Gardening with Gav – Lawn Grub Season

While the news is buzzing about the 150,000 mulloway and flathead fingerlings recently released into Lake Macquarie, the real scale of fish stocking in Australia might surprise you. From massive government programs to private farm dams, we are quite literally "building" the ecosystems of the future.

Joining us to dive beneath the surface is Neil Meyrick from Aquablue Seafoods. Neil is an expert in sustainable aquaculture, helping locals transform everything from backyard ponds to vast freshwater systems into thriving habitats. We’re talking about the science of the "fingerling," why native species  are the heroes of our local dams, and how we ensure these fish actually survive to become the "big catch" of tomorrow.
