Permit: A permit is required under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 to 'take' (which includes kill, injure, catch, damage, destroy and collect), keep, trade in or process any specimen or products of a listed species. Additional permits may also be required under other Acts or regulations to take, disturb or interfere with any form of wildlife or its products, (e.g. dens, nests, bones). This may also depend on the tenure of the land and other agreements relating to its management. .

This family is distributed on the South of continents and islands around the Antarctic (South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand), with more or less 40 species and 5 genus. The family, genus and species present great phylogenetic and biogeographic questions in relation to their center of origin and dispersion. One species, Galaxias maculatus is common to a great part of the family-distribution (South America, Australia and New Zealand) and its way of dispersion is being discussed. A discussion of systematic advances obtained in Galaxiids is done by characters of external and internal Morphology, Cytogenetic, Electrophoresis, Analysis of Multivariance, Ecology and Zoogeography.

Approved Conservation Advice for Paragalaxias Eleotroides (Great Lake Paragalaxias)
This Conservation Advice was approved by the Delegate of the Minister on 11 April 2014 Approved Conservation Advice for Paragalaxias eleotroides (Great Lake paragalaxias) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing and draft plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Paragalaxias eleotroides (Great Lake paragalaxias), family Galaxiidae, also known as the Great Lake darter, is a small, stout freshwater fish, reaching a maximum length of approximately 60 mm (McDowall, 1996; Allen et al., 2002). Adults are light, golden-brown in colour on the back, tending to a pale yellow to white on the underside. They are very similar in appearance to the closely related Shannon paragalaxias (P. dissimilis), but are distinguished by the lack of any pores under the lower jaw, which are present in the Shannon paragalaxias, and by its ‘down turned’ mouth (McDowall, 1996; McDowall, 1998; Allen et al., 2002). Conservation Status The Great Lake paragalaxias is listed as vulnerable under the name Paragalaxias eleotroides (Great Lake Paragalaxias). This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as it has a restricted geographic distribution that is precarious for its survival. Its extent of occurrence is estimated to be 172 km2 and its area of occupancy is estimated to be 164 km2. The species is known only from three locations, the Great Lake, Shannon Lagoon and Penstock Lagoon (TSSC, 2006).

Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

MF12306 Supplementary Data
10.1071/MF12306_AC ©CSIRO 2013 Supplementary Material: Marine and Freshwater Research 64 (9), 775–791 Supplementary Material A review of on-ground recovery actions for threatened freshwater fish in Australia Mark Lintermans Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] Table S1. Preamble and fields included in the survey of practitioners The present survey covers on-ground actions specifically intended to recover threatened freshwater fish. It does not include general research projects aiming to collect or improve knowledge of the species ecology or interactions. Where a research activity is specifically conducted to directly improve or inform an on-ground recovery activity, then it should be included. An example is the development of a population model for Macquarie perch to directly inform a translocation program. With its focus on on-ground activities, the survey does not cover planning or coordination documents or policies (such as e.g. the preparation of recovery plans, stocking or translocation policies) 1. Threatened species or ecological community targeted: species can be threatened at either State or national level. Can be single, or multiple threatened species, but this compilation is not intended to cover general fish-rehabilitation activities that might benefit threatened species. 2. State recovery activity occurred in : (e.g. NSW, WA). 3. River Basin activity occurred in : use real catchments (e.g. Moonie River) not AWRC Basins. 4. Stream/wetland activity occurred in : i.e. give creek, river, lake or wetland name. 5. Year recovery action commenced : this data trawl is focussed on actions from 1990 onwards (but if you want to put in some earlier activities that’s fine).
