Diseased Fish Rejected


Simon Whittingham at Gladstone Fish Market with a 600kg catch of diseased fish that he had to reject.

A COMMERCIAL fisherman has caught 660 kilograms of barramundi, only to have the entire catch rejected because of red-spot disease.

The dodgy catch came less than a week after Gladstone Harbour reopened for fishing.
Mark McMillan, caught the fish in his nets in the harbour on Tuesday night.

He brought the catch back to Gladstone Fish Market.

At the fish market, Simon Whittingham was left with no choice but to reject the entire catch, since the fish had red-spot disease.
