Supporting the Dewfish Demonstration Reach

 

The Dewfish Demonstration Reach is a 110 kilometre stretch of water from St Ruth's Reserve on the Condamine River to Loudoun Weir near Dalby including sections of Myall Creek through Dalby and Oakey Creek through Bowenville Reserve. Funding from Arrow Energy is supporting the ongoing development of the Dewfish Demonstration Reach which aims to increase native fish populations in the waterway back up to 60 per cent of what they were prior to European settlement.

 

Monitoring and evaluation is the overall driver behind the selection and use of these tools as it helps determine what effect they are having and if they are having an effect, to what extent this is helping to increase the native fish population numbers. The methods being used include a trial of fish exclusion screens to be fitted to irrigation pumps to try and stop the loss of native fish at irrigation pump points.

 

Smaller bodied native fish populations in the Dewfish Demonstration Reach have suffered from a lack of macrophytes and vegetation failing to grow back since the floods so there will be a focus on reintroducing the appropriate vegetation and putting in rock rubble habitats to the Myall Creek in Dalby to help them to breed and thrive again. There will also be work done identifying barriers to free fish passage and then the appropriate work done to try and eliminate these barriers on a priority basis. On the ground works include the installation of fish LUNKERS, fish hotels and cod holes which will give native fish more shelter and better environments for food to grow in, thus securing their food supplies better.

 

As well as focussing on providing a better habitat for native fish, the project also tries to reduce the population of invasive pest fish such as carp by using carp traps and hosting carp fishing days to educate the community on carp management and how to dispose of carp humanely. The active side of the project is backed up by both a community engagement and a communications plan to help raise awareness of the project in the local communities and give them ownership of it with the eventual goal of the community continuing the work after the project’s conclusion.

I love how the PC brigade have forced the name change of Fresh Water Jewies.  I was really only a Queensland thing anyway, most others called them Tandens.
