The Chowilla anabranch system, which bypasses Lock 6 on the River Murray, consists of a range of aquatic habitats including permanent lotic (flowing water) creeks, habitats which are now uncommon in the South Australian section of the lower River Murray. These lotic habitats are ...
Molecular techniques for marine pest surveillance offer cost and time savings over traditional techniques. SARDI has developed qPCR assays to detect ten marine pests, including seven priority pests for ballast water management, and a method of plankton collection for testing with...
