The rivers and wetlands of the Goulburn Broken Catchment provide substantial recreational fishing opportunities, and support a number of threatened fish species such as Murray Cod, Macquarie Perch, and Trout Cod. The iSPY Fish app, developed by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority and Sumo Software has been built upon the highly successful iSPY Frog Application launched in 2012. iSPY Fish is a mobile-based interactive tool presenting information on all fish species occurring in the Catchment. Primarily targeted at recreational fishers, other users include scientists, naturalists, students and natural resource managers. Colour images, physical descriptions, ecological information and conservation status are provided for 21native, and nine alien, fish species. The App allows users to upload photos and catch detail (species, weight, location, etc) to an iSpy Fish Facebook page, where data is collated to assist river and wetland management, thereby facilitating citizen science activity and community participation in aquatic resource management.
iSpy Fish is available for Apple and Android operating systems.
