Freshwater flow requirements of estuarine – dependent Fisheries – data review and research needs

Conceptual models of the likely impacts of freshwater flows have been developed for seven species or species complexes that are regularly caught in the commercial and recreational fisheries of the Gulf of Carpentaria and reviewed by researchers with experience in the Gulf of Carpentaria. These conceptual models have been used to develop a range of research that could potentially elucidate the linkages between the importance of freshwater flows and fisheries production.
