This project has confirmed the knowledge that management of barramundi translocations outside their natural range requires fisheries authorities take into account the risk that barramundi nodavirus may lethally infect native freshwater fishes. The project has shown barramundi nodavirus can...
This project consisted of two field experiments primarily designed to determine if dispersal of post-juvenile trout cod, Maccullochella macquariensis, is responsible for the apparent lack of success following stocking of this species into numerous riverine sites. The study also served to trial the...
