Redfin

Perca fluviatilis Freshwater
No size, bag and boat limits apply.

Redfin is an introduced species and is not to be returned to the water alive.


Redfin are declared by regulations to be exotic - consequently it is an offence to keep this species alive, to move it (or any other species) from one waterway to another or to return it to the water.

Redfin have fine fighting and eating qualities and large numbers may be found throughout South Australia.

They are voracious eaters and predators of small fish including young Murray cod and callop, and will readily attack other fish. Redfin are responsible for the reduction in numbers of many of our native species.
