| Objective | To assess whether environmental flows can promote immigration of adult Silver Perch and Golden Perch from the Murray River into tributaries to facilitate recovery of native fish populations, using acoustic telemetry. To assess the extent to which tributary populations are reliant on immigration from areas outside the system and environmental factors (particularly hydrology) that are associated with immigration |
