Understanding of life history and spatial ecology underpins the management and conservation of anadromous fishes (i.e. species that enter rivers from the sea as adults and migrate to upstream spawning grounds, with juveniles later migrating downstream to the sea). Pouched lamprey...
Ecological responses to Commonwealth environmental water delivered to the Lower Murray River (LMR) Selected Area were assessed during year four (2017-18) of the five-year Commonwealth Environmental Water Office (CEWO) Long-Term Intervention Monitoring (LTIM) project. During 2017-...
During 2017-18, ~894 GL of Commonwealth environmental water was delivered through a series of watering events to the Lower Murray River (LMR), coordinated to achieve a range of environmental outcomes across the southern connected Basin. Commonwealth environmental water delivery l...
