Comments:
Possibly present in lower reach of zone if successfully colonised through from Loddon River basin during wetter periods.


Comments:
Recorded from 145-380 m.  Historical downstream distribution considered to expand or contract according to wet and dry cycles in the basin.  Considered to be abundant in the very upper portion of this zone only on average.


Comments:
Recorded from 150-380 m.  Historical downstream distribution considered to expand or contract according to wet and dry cycles in the basin.  Considered to be present into the very upper portion of this zone only on average, probably to moderate abundance.


Comments:
Recorded from 225-300 m.  Historical downstream distribution considered to expand or contract according to wet and dry cycles in the basin.  Considered to be historically present into the very upper portion of this zone, at low abundance.


Comments:
Recorded in Lake Bael Bael at lower end of the system, though unsure of historic abundance and range. Probably present in lower reach of zone when successfully colonised through from Loddon River basin during wetter periods.


Comments:
Recorded to 285 m.  Considered abundant and widespread in this zone.


Comments:
Recorded to 265 m.  Considered to be widespread and abundant in this zone.

Comments:
Possibly also present in lower reach of this zone if successfully colonised through from Loddon River basin during wetter periods.

Notes:
Anecd. evidence from anglers suggests spp present


Comments:
Recorded from 225-300 m.  Historical distribution considered to be broader within this zone, but due to dry nature of catchment probably of moderate abundance.


Comments:
12/07/2006: Raised to 3 - QLD input; currently common in off-stream lagoon habitats.  

Modified DG: (Pre IP1 assessment: Probably more abundant in lowlands and slopes prior to anthropogenic impacts. Lake (1967) states that AMBAGA widespread in the lower reaches but not very common. Therefore not likely to result in a change to PERCH scores.)

DG: Probably more abundant in lowlands and slopes prior to river regulation, loss of macrophytes and wetland degradation, but Lake (1967) states that they were widespread in the lower reaches but not very common. Therefore not likely to result in a change to PERCH scores.


Comments:
12/07/2006: Currently 1, expected 3. Lack of historic data to support a 5.

Pre IP1: More abundant in lowlands and slopes prior to river regulation. Probably also a little more abundant in uplands. Clunie and Koehn (2001) cite several references suggesting that silver perch were historically very abundant.


Comments:
Probably a little more abundant in lowland zone prior to river regulation


Comments:
Probably more abundant in lowlands prior to river regulation, loss of macrophytes and wetland degradation. But no change to scores

Comments:
Probably should be much more abundant in highlands


Comments:
12/07/2006: Currently nearer 5 probably due to stocking.

Pre IP1: Probably little change


Comments:
12/07/2006: Only one record, possible translocate or vagrant (Mike H. record 40km d/s Goondi.). Potentially contaminated stocking. 

Pre IP1: Probably little change


Comments:
12/07/2006: QLD Museum record (Mike Hutchison Goondiwindi record).

Notes:
QLD MUSEUM RECORD from July 2006 is most likely a data entry error from 1st SRA- TAG NSW REP confirmed this. WR+TH feel making it 0 is most realistic for River Health asessments


Comments:
12/07/2006: DMoffatt data to confirm as 1.

DG: Probably more abundant in lowlands and slopes prior to river regulation, loss of macrophytes and wetland degradation, but Lake (1967) states that they were widespread in the lower reaches but not very common. Therefore not liekly to result in a change to PERCH scores.

Thought to be historically widespread throughout zone.


Comments:
Recorded from Murray River to Yarrawonga, so predicted to be present in lower reach of zone.


Comments:
Recorded from 420-630 m, but present in river basins on both sides down to 110 and 60 m.  Therefore considered historically to have been present in this basin to about 100 m.

Comments:
Probably more abundant in lowlands prior to river regulation, loss of macrophytes and wetland degradation, and invasion by carp and redfin. But Lake (1967) states that they were widespread in the lower reaches but not very common. Therefore not likely to result in a change to PERCH scores.

Comments:
Probably declined due to river regulation, loss of wetlands and macrophytes and the introduction of redfin and carp. Gave them a 3 rather than a 1 in the slopes zone due to transition between 5 and 1 below and above.


Comments:
Only ever a rare vagrant from the Darling


Comments:
Historically supported a commercial fishery. Langtry reports they made up 0.4 - 65.5% of the gill net catch in the lower Murray, 40.9 - 75.6% of the gill net catch in the lower Murray Riverina and 9.0 - 39.2% of the gill net catch in the upper Murray Riverina. They were locally extinct above Yarrawonga weir in 1949/50.m I gave them a 3 whilst Tarmo had given them a 1. My justification is that it is 1 at a higher zone and 5 at the lower one. Therefore 3 is transitional.

Citation:

Comments:
Declined throughout their range. However the declines may have been relatively minor in the the lower Murray, lower Murray Riverina, Anabranch and Highland zones. The decline would have been greatest in the upper Murray Riverina, slopes and upland zones. Need to discuss whether they are wrthy of a pre-Eurpoean 5 or not.

Citation:
Paul Brown, Victorian Department of Natural Resources and Environment


Comments:
Probably declined most in the upper Murray Riverina and slopes zones. Probably always rarer in the lower Murray Riverina and anabranch zones. Langtry reports that they did not occur in the lower Murray, were excedingly rare in the lower Murray Riverina and increase in abundance progressively from Swan Hill to a maximum around Yarrawonga (he assessed upstream to Corowa, so they must have declined further upstream).

Citation:
Jason Lieschke, Marine and Freshwater Resources Institute


Comments:
Historically supported a commercial fishery. Langtry reports they made up 7.6 - 24.3% of the gill net catch in the lower Murray, 9.4 - 54.4% of the gill net catch in the lower Murray Riverina and 11.6 - 40.4% of the gill net catch in the upper Murray Riverina.

Citation:
Iain Ellis, Murray Darling Freshwater Research Centre


Comments:
Probably moderate declines in each of the lowland zones due to loss of macrophytes and carp. Langtry only observed them around Boundary bend in 1949/50,


Comments:
Probably always rather uncommon or at least patchily distributed in all zones but would have declined due to loss of macrophytes and the impact of carp and trout. I am not confident in assigning them to any zones upstream of the lower Murray Riverina however they have the environmental tolerances to occur in all zones up to the uplands. Therefore, I gave them a PERCH score of 1.

Notes:
change from 1 to 3 CR0166 Need to conform with adjacent zone score


Comments:
Langtry reported of 'appear to abound throughout the whole Murray system' and that shoals of pygmy perch were observed to be attacked by brown trout in the Murray. Gave trhem a 3 rather than a 5 but with little to justify this decision given Langtry's observations.


Comments:
Langtry reported that prior to 1949/50 they were the predominant species throughout the Murray. However in 1949/50 they were restricted to the Lower Murray zone. I suggest that we should expect little change since European colonisation as they have recovered to being the predominant species in the lower Murray and lower Murray Riverina.


Comments:
Probably declined in the lower Murray Riverina and anabranches due to loss of macrophytes and wetlands and the introduction of carp and redfin.


Comments:
Very rare vagrant into the NSW parts of the Murray catchment.

Notes:
MW change to 0 due to vagrant (TF 20080911); change from1 to 0 CR0166


Comments:
Langtry reports that catfish were regularly taken in the Lower Murray zone and they were re-establishing in the Mildura area (Lower Murray Riverina). They became less common upstream and were rarely captured at the Murrumbidgee junction. Clunie and Koehn (2002) cite references suggesting that catfish were abundant in the lower Murray and in Billabong Creek (Anabranches). Clunie and Koehn (2001) also cite references indicating that catfish occurred upstream as far as Mulwala.

Probably rely on macrophytes. Therefore, probably always rarer in the turbid Darling River. Lake (1967) describes as widespread but not very common. Aust museum records in the Barwon River. CRC FE (2002) recommendation of likely presence in Menindee Lakes (ie. middle zone). Cannot justify not placing them in the lower zone given there historical presence in both Victoria and South Australia.

Comments:
Although very small numbers of individuals may migrate downstream from Great Divide streams. Will not establish as a population.


Comments:
Used to support a large commercial fishery. Clunie and Koehn (2001) cite several references suggesting that silver perch were historically very abundant. Currently widespread

Comments:
Probably quite rare if present at all. Nearest known population was in the Murray. Only possibility in lowest zone


Comments:
Has probably declined a little. Reports of high abundance in the Menindee Lakes (in Shirley 2002). Currently present in middle zone and in Menindee Lakes. Not recorded in the Barwon but likely to have existed there as it is present in most tributary catchments of the Barwon and near the confluence of the warrego River which is at the top end of the middle zone. Fishfiles records presence in the lower zone and it was likely anyway given the proximity to abundant populations in the Murray River.

Notes:
Reconsid. Historical. more veg. NSW TAG Recommended change to align with adjacent zones


Comments:
Probably rare if present at all. Not enough macrophytes due to turbidity. Only included due to proximity of population in the lower Murray. Nearest known population was in the Murray. Only a slight possibility in lowest zone


Comments:
Probably should be more abundant. Currently widespread


Comments:
Probably should be more abundant in Barwon and middle zones. Is currently abundant in the lowland zone of the Border Rivers. Currently common in the Barwon. Scholz et al (1999), SKM (2002) and Gilligan et al (2005) found them in the Menindee lakes(middel zone). Rare vagrants in lower Lachlan and Lower Murrumbidgee suggest that it would also be rare in the lower zone (NSW database).

Notes:
D/s extreme. Confined to upper sect. this zone


Comments:
Probably should be more abundant in 2 lower zones. Lake (1967) describes as patchy in the Darling River. Currently widespread


Comments:
Probably always patchily distributed and rarer due to association with macrophytes which are rarer in the Darling due to turbidity. Lake (1967) describes as widespread but patchily distributed. Shirley et al. (2002) did not record them but suggested they were native to the Menindee lakes. Possibly present in some of the lowlands zones of tributary catchments and hence also possibly in the Barwon. An anonymous aquarium collector reported them from around Wilcannia (middle zone). The lower zone is not too far from the remnant Victorian population in Cardross Lakes and Kings Billabong.


Comments:
Temporally patchy.Captured by commercial fishers in the Great Darling Anabranch and Lake Balaka in 1975/76 (Reid et al 1997). Reported as eels but more likely to be lamprey.

Probably quite rare if present at all. Not enough macrophytes. Only included due to proximity of population in the lower Murray. Nearest known population was in the Murray. Only possibility in lowest zone


Comments:
Probably always quite rare.May only disperse downstream during floods - particularly from the Paroo. Shirley et al (2002) - recorded from Lake Bijiji. Found in Lowlands of Paroo (NSW database) and Condamine catchments (SRA pilot).


Comments:
Abundant in the Murray but not reported often from the Darling. I presume little change. NSW database records.


Comments:
Probably should also be 3 in the Barwon. Currently widespread


Comments:
Used to support a commercial fishery. NSW commercial fishery data (Reid et al 1997) and NSW database


Comments:
Probably should be more abundant in Barwon and middle zones. Is currently abundant in the lowland zone of the Border Rivers. Currently common in the Barwon. Scholz et al (1999), SKM (2002) and Gilligan et al (2005) found them in the Menindee lakes(middel zone). Rare vagrants in lower Lachlan and Lower Murrumbidgee suggest that it would also be rare or a vagrant in the lower zone (NSW database).


Comments:
Questionable. Probably guarenteed to be rare. Only included due to the pilot SRA record in the lower Condamine. Nearest population is in the lowlands of the Condamine. Could potentially be in the Barwon or Middle zone.

Comments:
WR+TH decision based on historical (Trueman).  NSW TAG suggest 0 based on current habitat not historical


Comments:
I can confirm that the type locality of MAC AUS was the "Macquarie River at Bathurst".  MAC AUS was also likely to have been present in the slopes (maybe a 5, but probably a 3) but would be debatable in the lowland of a Darling tributary, probably a 1 at best. You would expect some downstream vagrants into the lowland, but maybe they were not a permanent part of the fish community, and as we have discounted vagrants in other systems, maybe a zero, especially as the Macquarie Valleys also contains the Bogan, for which I am unaware of any MAC AUS records.

. R1238: NSW DPI collected a CRAFLU at Narrandera in 1995 and the Australian Museum has a sample from the nearby Yanco Creek from 1910. I don’t know if the specimen collected by NSW DPI was lodged at the Museum or not. However, we have given 1s to species that have less evidence than this, so I dont think we can justify not giving it a 1 in this case.


Comments:
. R1238: The Australian Museum has a record from Narrandera in 1964. Narrandera is well and truly in the lowlands zone. They should definitely have a 1 in this zone.

Comments:
. R1238: This crept in because the ozcam (the national museum database) website records 2 individuals of BIDBID colelcted from near Bredbo in 1908 kept in the Australian Museum. However, Bionet (the NSW biodiversity database) website, which also searches the collection of the Australian Museum, doesn’t record the same two individuals. The specimen codes under Ozcam are I97892 and I9783. I have emailed the Australian Museum to check if additional collection location details are available for these two speceimens.

Comments:
consultation with Tarmo we believe that the GAL SP1 in the Upper Murray basin should be a 3 (low end of a 3) in the upland zone.  Reasons: 575 altitude is greater than half of 400-700 range. The samples were recorded from the northern (NSW) side of the stream network and we do not expect the distribution to be equivalent on the southern (VIC)  part of the stream network.

comment:
High conductivity (619-674 uS/cm). Electrofishing settings hard to refine. Missed a school of Gambusia


comment:
High turbidity, algal growth, poor visibility


comment:
The water body is broken up to two areas a reedy part and a deeper lake like part, between the two areas, the boat had to be manually pushed through a narrow/shallow part


comment:
Steep banks, high conductivity, shallow and long pools


comment:
Medium steep bank, macophyts on the edges of waterhole.


comment:
Large waterhole with emergent vegatation at one end and shallow at the other, with very limited snags, soft banks snd recent flow


comment:
Started flow the day before sampled, still flowing when we sampled, but slow as we left, ripples both ends of the waterhole, David Thompson drove his tractor over the creek


comment:
Long narrow waterbody with over hanging trees, very muddy, a fence downstream restricted access. Recent local rain.


comment:
Fair to steep banks , with very limited snags, shallow on both ends of the  pool


comment:
large pools after the environmental flow, flatish launch site, sand bank mid section of the river


comment:
Access between trees past the dam wall, small slope, a lot of snags and riffles, Species indictive of recent freshwater flow


comment:
Large snags, SRA coordinates 300mtrs downstream from launch site, narrow channels and step banks


comment:
Good access but you have to pick your way between the trees, lots of snags and deep and narrow waterbodies


comment:
River rose rapidly overnight. Fykes set in anticipation of rise.


comment:
High grass on both side with no/limited tree cover. Some willows at one end of the waterhole. Two pools unuseable due to access issues. Recent flow due to fierce storm last weekend


comment:
Launched 400m downstream of map lat long.  Too deep for backpack, no boat access at map coordinates


comment:
Relatively high conductivity 1200 microseimens


comment:
A pump station is on the other site of the launch site, with a rock bar at one end and the other end has emergent vegatation, a few snags, but shallow in some areas, ideal for the little boat


comment:
Emergent Vegatation around the edge of the waterhole, dense bush around the waterhole


comment:
Very step sides, to winch boat down bank, limited snags with floating macrophyts, some waist high waterholes, but the field site is 350m away from th SRA site, the SRA site was a dry farm dam, so the SRA field protocol  was used to allocate a site.


comment:
Boat ramp or weir edge access. Pump station on one side. Deep one end of pool, with the shallow end and small snags


comment:
Access point is behind the broken Dam wall, launch boat between the trees, loads of upright snags, shallow at one end, very deep in the middle, good place for a swim


comment:
SRA site is a farm dam, so the nearset sampling point was beside the bridge, small snags, backpack site, small shallow pools


comment:
Steep sides, very long and deep. Rock walls on both sides of the bank


comment:
Water cleaner here than elsewhere, lots of riparian and snags
