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 consideration 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.
