Description

Native freshwater fish are facing a range of threats – particularly from climate change, altered water regimes, habitat degradation and invasive species. Many species are at risk of extinction, and informed, evidence-based decisions are needed to manage these threats now and into the future. This project is working closely with river and waterway managers to develop principles and approaches for managing and protecting freshwater fish biodiversity across Victoria.

Research from the project is improving our understanding of how floodplain fish communities respond to environmental change, how they can be monitored more effectively, and the approaches that can support successful wetland restoration.

We’re taking a strategic approach to identify cost-effective management actions for freshwater fish. The project is building knowledge of where fish occur, the environmental conditions and threats that shape their distributions, how they can be effectively monitored, and which management and restoration actions can best support their persistence.

The research complements the work of Victoria’s Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and waterway managers, including development of the new Victorian Waterway Management Strategy and regional waterway planning.

Key research areas

To equip waterway managers and policy-makers with up-to-date evidence, this project is:

  • developing principles and approaches to guide the prioritisation of freshwater fish management actions
  • working collaboratively with waterway managers and other stakeholders to test these approaches in regional contexts
  • translating research findings into strategic, tactical and operational guidance for freshwater fish management in Victoria.

Pathway to impact

This project will support the management of threatened freshwater fish by:

  • improving knowledge of fish distributions, threats and habitat requirements
  • strengthening approaches for detecting and monitoring threatened fish
  • identifying effective restoration approaches for floodplain wetland habitats
  • supporting management under current and future climate conditions
  • informing state and regional waterway strategies, monitoring and conservation actions.
