The Recreational Fishing Guide gives an overview of the rules and regulations that apply to recreational fishing in South Australia.

Fishing brochures give more information about fishing in South Australia. These include:

  • brochures giving quick reference guides to catch, bag and boat limits
  • information about particular fishing regions
  • information about particular types of fishing activity.

Reference books and reports, including the recent South Australian Fisheries Resources: Current Status and Recent Trends 2006, provide more detailed information about fish habitats and fisheries management.

Schools can introduce students to freshwater and marine fish and other aquatic life using the Educational Kit, Get hooked. This is a national fisheries initiative.
