New Fish Field Guide
Posted on 11 December, 2012 by Connecting Country
The new North Central Waterwatch Fish Field Guide is now available. The Fish Field Guide is the second in a series of three field guides being developed by North Central Waterwatch to help the community identify aquatic fauna found in our local waterways. It can be viewed on the North Central CMA website by clicking here Be patient as this PDF document takes a while to open.
The Fish Field Guide provides descriptions of native species in north central Victoria, including their tail shape, fins positions, habitats, conservation, breeding cycles, diet. It also desribes the threats to native fish.
This new guide also highlights threatened species listed under state and/or national legislation, as well as information about fish that have been translocated into the North Central CMA region.
The Fish Field Guide follows the huge success of the North Central Waterwatch Frogs Field Guide which provides information on frogs, including their description, the sound of their calls, breeding times and their habitats.
Hi Beth! Each group in the North Central Region should have been sent a single copy of the guide recently. I won’t have many copies myself, so if your group would like to get more then please do contact the North Central CMA. Hope that helps.
Is Max going to get copies for Landcare groups? I’d like a copy. Let me know if you’re not getting any sent and I’ll contact NCCMA. Thanks.
