posted on 2020-05-01, 10:57 authored by Nissa Davies, Centre for Freshwater EcosystemsCentre for Freshwater EcosystemsMMCP Collaboration (MMCP) is a project supported by the Joint State Governments and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority to generate and adopt freshwater ecological knowledge through collaboration, to maintain research capability and contribute supporting science to underpin the Basin-Wide Watering Strategy.
Student support is an important component of MMCP. Postgraduate students carry out high-quality research at a reasonable cost and make an important contribution to the development of aquatic research capability. Student support for this thesis, was provided through the provision of a honours scholarships.
The aims of this study are to examine: (1) fish assemblages across a range of waterholes with varying levels of permanency; (2) fish assemblages during different levels of hydrological connectivity (i.e. waterholes connected and waterholes disconnected; and (3) the relative influence of local and regional factors on fish community composition.
