"From the whitebaiters point of view...we now have 74 percent of our native fish listed as a threatened species and it's important to understand that's higher than any other country I can find."
"There may still may be big catches right up until a couple of years before they disappear altogether, because a few adults can produce lots and lots of juveniles and in the right conditions you can have a big run coming into a river. But as the habitat, as the water quality, declines in this country, then less and less of those adults can survive and we'll just see those numbers disappear."
