  • 2016-2017 Native Fish Stocking Plan for Dams and Lakes
    2016/2017 NATIVE FISH STOCKING PLAN FOR DAMS AND LAKES There are many impoundments and reservoirs suitable for native fish stocking throughout NSW and over the last two decades a large number of excellent recreational fisheries have been established. To ensure that the best use continues to be made of publicly funded fish stocking programs, Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is seeking input from people who have an interest in the State’s stocked native freshwater fisheries. The attached draft native fish stocking plan has been prepared for consideration by the recreational fishing community. Fish are stocked from Government hatcheries as a service to the anglers of NSW. Locations are selected based on recent stocking history and experience with those waters. The plan is also developed in accordance with the policies and guidelines set out in the Environmental Impact Statement and Fishery Management Strategy (FMS) on freshwater fish stocking in NSW. The water quality and storage status of impoundments will also be assessed prior to stocking and where necessary changes will be made. Please note: Planned fish release figures listed in the attached tables are targets only, and may be exceeded, or not attained, depending on hatchery production. Other seasonal factors such as water quality issues or unforeseen circumstances could preclude planned fish releases. As a result, allocations may be amended prior to release. Impoundments are listed as Priority 1 or 2. Priority 1 impoundments support large recreational fisheries or have not received stockings in recent years. Priority 2 impoundments are either smaller fisheries, suffer intermittent water quality issues or have recently received large stockings of that species.

  • Tracing the Source of Recent Sediment Using Environmental Magnetism and Radionuclides in the Karst of the Jenolan Caves, Australia
    Erosion and Sediment Transport Monitoring Programmes in River Basins (Proceedings of the Oslo Symposium, August 1992). IAHS Publ. no. 210, 1992. 125 Tracing the source of recent sediment using environmental magnetism and radionuclides in the karst of the Jenolan Caves, Australia 12 R.K.STANTON, 2 A.S.MURRAY, 2 J.M.OLLEY 1 Department of Geography and Oceanography, University College, Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra A.C.T 2600 2 C.S.LR.O Division of Water Resources, P.O. Box 1666, Canberra, A.C.T. 2601 ABSTRACT This study examines sediment sources and chronology in underground sediment sinks in the Jenolan Caves system, N.S.W., Australia. Relationships between mineral magnetic ratios are used to identify the sources of modern sediment to the cave system. Correlation between the naturally occurring radionuclides 226Ra and 232Th quantify these findings. When considered with historical evidence and fallout 137Cs chronology, a detailed description of the variations in source contributions with time is developed. It is concluded that catchment disturbance associated with forestry activity in the early 1950s significantly changed the relative contributions of the two contributing subcatchments. However, subsequent changes in sediment deposition rate, and by implication sediment supply, were probably more dependent on rainfall changes than relative variations in supply from the two catchments. INTRODUCTION This paper reports on recent sediment transport and deposition at Jenolan Caves, the premier tourist caves in Australia. Over recent years, concern has been expressed by the cave’s management that the mean water level has risen and the amount of fine sediment being transported within the caves has increased.

  • Mid Coxs River Subcatchment
    Mid Coxs River Mid Coxs Appendix 4.2 Appendix Subcatchment summaries Subcatchment Mid Coxs River Subcatchment River Mid Coxs The Mid Coxs River subcatchment is located in the far-west section of the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment. It is characterised by narrow granite valleys and contains the World Heritage listed Jenolan Caves Karst Conservation Reserve. The subcatchment has signifi cant areas in reserved land in its lower reaches in the Kanagra Boyd National Park, part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The subcatchment is highly valued for its recreational values by local and regional communities. Flows in the Mid Coxs River are impacted by impoundment at Lake Lyell. In the upper area of the subcatchment, there is signifi cant rural development, and pine plantations in the tributary headwaters both of which have altered the vegetation of this subcatchment. The impacts of these activities need to be well managed to prevent degradation of the near intact reaches downstream. There is a major Landcare association, the Lithgow Oberon Landcare Association, and numerous Landcare groups working in the subcatchment, as well as weed control and mapping programs undertaken by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
