ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF HABITAT RESTORATION ON THE RATES OF RECOVERY OF 4 NATIVE FISH SPECIES USING ADVANCED STATISTICAL MODELS

Grant number: LP110200211 | Funding period: 2012 - 2015

Completed

Abstract

This project will develop statistical modelling tools to assess how quickly threatened native fish populations recover following habitat restoration. The outcome of this project will aid in understanding the use of habitat restoration in managing endangered stocks of Murray Cod, Trout Cod, Silver Perch and Golden Perch in the Murray River.
