THREE hundred barbel fish have been released into St Patrick’s Stream, a backwater tributary of the River Loddon near Wargrave.
The Environment Agency released similar numbers of chub, dace and roach.
The barbel were marked with a blue dot to help fisheries officers and anglers monitor their development.
Twyford and District Angling Club was given £9,500 from the Fisheries Improvement Programme to install a riverbed carpet of gravel in the stream to aid spawning in the spring.
Fisheries officer Adrian Bicknell said: “Rivers full of healthy fish mean more vibrant surroundings for them, other water life and the anglers who use them.”
