Barramundi are one of Australias iconic fish species. And scientists are
securing the future of these magnificent fish, by monitoring their life
cycle. Barra spawn in saltwater at the mouths of creeks and rivers, but
the tiny fingerlings soon move upriver into freshwater lagoons. These
nurseries are crucial to their survival. Researchers have discovered
a big rainfall helps more baby barramundi reach these protected
nurseries. This means bigger barra in the estuaries in seasons to come.
