| Abstract: |
This project is a collection of fish data and aquatic ecology information to identify and monitor critical refugia and assess aquatic habitats across the Far North region of South Australia.
Investigation of the mechanisms that drive fish species responses to drought conditions and monitor the distribution of species during seasonal connectivity patterns.
A range of different wetland types are monitored including rockholes, springs, waterholes, floodplains and lake systems.
Also includes associated data collected during fish surveys, such as mammal, reptile, bird and frog. EK21/04/2016.
These data could potentially be split into individual projects based on reports below.
