MD-WERP Theme: Environmental Outcomes
MD-WERP Research question: How can we better predict health of water dependent ecosystems? Develop tools to enable the Commonwealth to predict ecosystem responses to changes in flow?
Project title: Spatially explicit population models for fish in the Barwon-Darling River system
Research Lead: La Trobe University
This project developed a spatially explicit dynamic fish population model to assess the population viability of four freshwater fish species (Murray cod, Golden perch, Bony bream and Common carp) of the Darling (Baaka) River under hydrological conditions observed in the past ~40 years.
