Synopsis (short abstract) As part of phase one activities undertaken under the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project an analysis of trout stocking practices in PNG was made. Work undertaken by the project with regard to trout has been restricted for reasons outlined below. This report is, therefore, preliminary in nature and may be modified as more field data become available. Trout is an exotic species in PNG and has been, and still is, stocked by various PNG authorities. Experiences relating to trout are, therefor e, highly relevant to the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project.

    This report details some species of fish considered appropriate for stocking the Sepik/Ramu Rivers. Fishes thought suitable for introduction have been divided into three categories: Category A (species whose introduction is recommended); Category B (species that are thought to be of particular interest which are presently being evaluated in detail) ; and, Category C (interesting species with longer-term potential). Only category A species are presently recommended. All other species under consid eration are to be evaluated further by the project before it is prepared to recommend their introduction. Brief details of some of the category B and C species are given in order to illustrate the various options being evaluated.
