| Objective | To survey fish populations at ten sites within the Gunbower Forest and Gunbower Creek lagoon systems. This is the continuation of fish monitoring conducted annually in the Gunbower Forest and associated lagoons since 2005. Survey methods are consistent with Living Murray Gunbower Island Fish Surveys conducted since 2005, using a combination of boat and backpack electrofishing, bait trapping and large and larval fyke nets at each site. In addition, freshwater turtles were assessed to determine the community composition, abundance and age structure of populations based on individuals caught within each wetland and lagoon. |
