The key threat to whitebait is habitat loss. Without clean rivers with shady banks our adults can not survive. Without adults we have no juvenile. Commercial catch limits the number of fry that could potentially breed. Cleaning our rivers can potentially increase juvenile numbers allowing for commercial fishing in the future.
