Fish of the Upper Catchment

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a non-invasive sampling technique that detects genetic material from a target species secreted into its surrounding environment (water). Come along to hear the results of recent eDNA sampling from Josh Griffiths, Senior Ecologist - Biodiversity Conservation with EnviroDNA Pty Ltd. Waterways sampled include the Campaspe and Coliban Rivers upstream of Lake Eppalock and their tributaries.

The main objectives were to identify areas of high biodiversity and improve understanding of the distribution of several threatened fish species, to help inform management strategies. The data also provides a valuable baseline to assess the effectiveness of current and future management actions.
