Recent survey indicates good health in golden galaxias populations
IFS staff recently conducted the annual Galaxias auratus survey in lakes' Crescent and Sorell. This survey is undertaken as part of an ongoing monitoring program associated with the Lakes Sorell and Crescent Water Management Plan 2005.
Using a number of small mesh fyke nets set within designated habitats in each lake, staff were able to assess population strengths and diversity of age classes from juvenile fish through to large mature adults. Survey results indicate that both lakes continue to support a strong and healthy population of these important little fish.
