The CEWH has established the Long-Term Intervention Monitoring project to monitor and evaluate the ecological outcomes of environmental water use.
Here, David Dawson from Arthur Rylah Institute & Corey Wilson from Goulburn Broken CMA talk about how the fish community in the Goulburn River will be surveyed to understand the types of fish present, their numbers and ages. Fish breeding will be assessed by carrying out yearly surveys to understand the mix of ages of fish and by searching for larvae and juveniles. Fish tracking surveys will identify how fish move in response to particular flows. Of particular interest is golden perch as their breeding is linked to river flows.
