%X Exploitation rates of syrnpatric brown trout and rainbow trout in Lake Eucumbene, New South Wales, were estimated from a tagging study. Tag returns were analysed by applying a non-linear regression method. Tag loss was estimated from a concurrent double tagging study using a maximum likelihood method. No significant difference at the 5% level was found between the rates of tag loss of the two species. The annual exploitation rate for rainbow trout was 26.7% (95% confidence interval 24.2- 29.2%) and was significantly less for brown trout, 8.8% (95% confidence interval 4.2-13.5%).
