The areal dymanics of catching an insect in the air is referred to as sallying.
		Before eating its meal, a bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface, during this process pressure is applied to the insect extracting most of the venom.

		In South Australia, the main species in quantitative terms are the golden perch (callop), European carp and bony bream; in New South Wales, they are the European carp, golden perch, Murray cod and redfin.
		The most important fish for human consumption (and the most important in economic terms) is the golden perch (callop), with annual catches in South Australia ranging from 50,000 to 175,000 kg, and, in New South Wales, from 80,000 to 240,000 kg (Rohan 1989).
		To help overcome the problems created by such barriers, changes are being made to the operation of the Murray mouth barrages (in the interest of the fish populations of the Coorong) and the locks on the lower reaches of the Murray (to facilitate and encourage fish migration upstream).
