The coastal rivers of the Adelaide region drain the catchments of the Western Mount Lofty Ranges (WMLR), historically discharging freshwater flows into Gulf St. Vincent through large estuarine and coastal wetland systems (Holmes and Iversen 1976)....
In recent years, otolith chemistry has been used to address issues of stock structure and adult movement (reviewed in Campana 2005). Otoliths are natural chronometers that record an extraordinary amount of information about the life history of fish and the environments that they ...
