Fishers in Gladstone say they are doing their own independent testing into diseased fish in local waterways in central Queensland because they are not confident about a State Government investigation.
Authorities are investigating an outbreak of sick fish in Gladstone Harbour. Several fishermen have received permits to collect and send fish away for testing.
Gladstone Fish Market spokesman Ted Whittingham says they need to raise about $500,000 for the research.
"We're doing this testing to try and find the answers to the problem," he said.
