Even within the one river, they may be restricted to certain sections. This is particularly so where barriers such as waterfalls limit the upstream distribution of fishes. Streams above waterfalls typically have a depauperate fish fauna. This is especially true for upland streams of the Wet Tropics. However, for a variety of reasons, but most commonly to create recreational fisheries in these streams, many native fish species have been moved (translocated) to above waterfalls in the Wet Tropics. The potential environmental impacts associated with translocation of native fishes have received very little attention, especially when compared to exotic species. However the two are analogous. Any fish, regardless of its origin, moved to a new stream where it does not naturally occur, may cause significant environmental changes. Translocations have been occurring in the Wet Tropics for around 100 years, mostly done by private individuals and involving low numbers of fish. However, the Recreational Fishing Enhancement Program, a DPI initiative which began in 1986, and the development of mass- hatchery techniques in the last 20 years, has greatly increased the number of fishes stocked. Over 30 million fish have now been stocked in Queensland under this program, including 2 million into waters of the Wet Tropics. Fish that do not naturally occur in the Wet Tropics also enter streams here after escape from farm dams and aquaculture facilities where they are commonly stocked, or via release from aquaria. Evidence is found to suggest that up to 36 freshwater fish species plus red claw crayfish have been translocated into waters of the Wet Tropics. Many of these translocations have resulted in non-locally native species becoming established in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and a number of National Parks. These translocations are a combination of farm dam/aquaculture escapes; unofficial/illegal stockings by private individuals; and official stockings by government fisheries agencies. Addressing the issue of translocated fishes in the WTWHA will require a variety of management and planning methods. Despite the extent of stockings that have occurred to date, and the important faunal components of Wet Tropics streams that are considered to be vulnerable to predation by novel fish predators, no environmental evaluations for fish stocking have been undertaken in the Wet Tropics. The distribution of translocated fishes within streams of the Wet Tropics is not adequately known, nor is the extent of overlap between translocated fishes and potentially vulnerable species such as frogs and crustaceans. Translocations of native fish (and other aquatic organisms) are not accounted for in the WTWHA Management Plan, but need to be included. Translocations of fishes

  • A Re-Examination of William Hann´S Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2021, 32, 67–82 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR20014 A re-examination of William Hann’s Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland Peter Illingworth TaylorA and Nicole Huxley ACorresponding author. Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.
