Technical Information "Client area" (Last updated 17th October 2024)

All my contact details are here

Clients can log in here for technical information on jade perch, silver perch, honey perch, golden perch, sleepy cod, Australian bass, and Murray cod.

The information included here covers many aspects of these species, including habitat information which can be used to fill in some of the knowledge gaps. Information about jade perch goes back to the original "pioneer" growers who started growing jade perch in the 90s in Queensland Australia, the home of the species. This hand full of growers had to learn things the hard way. Their knowledge was built from a base knowledge on silver perch. There had been plenty of quality government research done with silver perch, but almost nothing had been, or ever was done, on jade perch. They learned everything the hard way. Information like, how low the water temperature could go before they stopped growing, and at what temperature would they actually start to die, how many fish to stock, how much to feed them, what is the best food, etc. This knowledge came at a price, by killing fish. This sort of information, as well as over 30 of years personal knowledge, and experience, can be found here The information is constantly being up-dated.

My knowledge is based on over 36 years of aquaculture farming and hatchery production of Australian native fish. I was one of 4 people in the first expidition to central Australia to collected wild jade perch. I was the second person to ever spawn jade perch. I have been breeding consistently, longer that any other person in the industry.

All international and interstate customers are responsible for their own permits and documentation. The Perch Man will provide any documents requested by the customer. If documents are required by the receiving country or state the customer must advise, in writing, to The Perch Man a request for these documents at least two weeks prior to shipping. All documents, including import permits or import licences, provided to The Perch Man, must be in English. If the customer is required by their country to have an import permit or import licence, a copy must be provided to The perch Man before the order is confirmed. Where a translation is required, such translation must be provided to The Perch Man in PDF format, and translated by an appropriate authority. An order will be considered, "confirmed" once The Perch Man has received any documents required by the receiving country or state, and a 10% deposit has been received. See below for deposit/payment conditions. 
Prior to booking international freight for each shipment, full payment must be received by The Perch Man. Payment by direct deposit only. Funds must be cleared at least 7 business days before shipment. The Perch Man does not guarantee live arrival, unless we deliver ourselves, by bulk road tanker. The owners and staff of The Perch Man are not liable for any financial losses, in any form, or any losses as a result of fish mortalities during transit, no matter what the cause. Insurance of fish in transit is the sole responsibility of the customer. Packing densities are designed to give you the best value for your freight dollar. This will often mean a build up of ammonia and especially CO2. CO2 is the biggest killer of fish during the unpacking process! If you are having trouble with losses when you unpack please contact us for advice. If a fish is alive, in the bag, when it arrives it should stay alive when unpacked, and handled correctly. The owners and staff of The Perch Man will not be held responsible in any way whatsoever, should The Perch Man fail to supply your order of fingerlings/fry, in part, or in total. All bulk orders are counted by weight. The quantity of fish packed in each bag is an average quantity based on the average weight of sample count done under the Aquaculture Association of Queensland accepted industry standard at the time of shipment. (See Commercial Hatchery Code of Best Practice) No claim will be considered. Bulk orders will be confirmed once a deposit has been received. This deposit is not refundable should the order be reduced in quantity, or canceled by the customer. Should the customer be unable to take delivery of their order, in part or in full, any postponed portion of the order shall be subject to prices current for the season delivery is made. Any agreed price is forfeited. In the event The Perch Man is unable to supply the total number of fish during the current spawning season, any payments made by the customer will be carried over to the next spawning season when the balance of the order will be shipped. It is at the sole discretion of The Perch Man to hold the agreed price, or apply the new season price for fish delivered in the next season. The deposit will be credited against the final shipment of the total order. Should the customer be unable to take delivery of any part of the order, this includes lack of correct documentation, the deposit is not refundable. The deposit will be held as a credit in the customer's account for a maximum of two years. If the customer does not accept delivery of the order within two years, the deposit is forfeited. All shipments must be paid in full at least seven days before the anticipated shipping date. In the event the shipment is canceled by the customer, for any reason, any payments are not refundable. Any costs associated with the cancellation will be deducted from the payment and the balance will be held as a credit in the customers account.All transactions are in Australian dollars.
