| Objective | This document provides a brief summary of the current knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of native fish and recent research into native and exotic fish ecology at B-MF, with the aim of identifying and prioritising a program of targeted research to inform management and restoration of native fish communities across the B-MF region. This document provides: - review of the spatial and temporal distribution of native and exotic fish at B-MF - review of the factors affecting spawning and recruitment of fish at B-MF - review of the factors affecting the status of fish communities at B-MF, with focus on the factors affecting the colonisation of floodplain and permanent creek, wetland and lake habitats – principally the lateral movement of various fish life history stages to and from the Murray River and the B-MF floodplain. - Identification of major on-ground management opportunities to restore the status and abundance of B-MF native fish communities |
