Key research
Investigation of the fish faunas and biology of black bream
in Culham Inlet, an estuary on the south coast which has undergone massive
fish kills in the recent past, and in other similar estuaries, in order to
- Increase our understanding of the deleterious outcomes of anthropogenic
activities in the catchments of these estuaries on the fish faunas of
these systems.
- Elucidate the influence on the fish faunas of the breaching of the bar
at the mouths of these normally-closed estuaries and the role played as
refugia by upstream pools.
