River blackfish found during fish monitoring in Yallakool Creek, southern NSW
May 30, 2018 - Environmental, Fish
Researchers from Charles Sturt University (CSU) and NSW Fisheries have detected river blackfish
(Gadopsis marmoratus) in Yallakool Creek in the Edward-Wakool river system for the first time since
the monitoring of environmental flows commenced in 2010.

Flow alteration and thermal pollution depress modelled growth rates of an iconic riverine fish, the Murray cod
Whiterod et al
May 1, 2018 - Fish
The serial discontinuity concept (SDC) proposes that hypolimnetic-releasing impoundments cause major disruptions to the naturally occurring physical, chemical and biological gradients of rivers but that this impact diminishes with distance downstream.

Assessment of stocking effectiveness for Murray cod and golden perch
Forbes et al
November 22, 2015 - Fish
Stock enhancement is a management tool used for fishery recovery worldwide, yet the success of many stocking programs remains unquantified. Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii) and golden perch (Macquaria ambigua) are important Australian recreational target species that have experienced widespread decline.

Edward/Kolety – Wakool Larval Fish Factsheet
November 28, 2013 - Fish
There are a range of factors that are important to sustain fish populations in river ecosystems. These include appropriate spawning cues and habitat, nursery grounds for young fish, sufficient food, shelter, mates, and other factors such as water quality and a healthy, productive ecosystem to reside in.
