On one day, Friday 4th April 2003, a series of detailed hydrodynamic, environmental and ecological measurements was conducted in the estuarine zone by more than 60 people. The purpose of the field works was to assess the complexity of a small estuarine system, the interactions between hydraulic engineering, biology and ecology, and to provide some assessment of the estuarine system that was heavily polluted four to five years ago. Field work was conducted from a low tide to the next low tide : i.e., between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm.

  • Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus Ornatus, Project
    Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus ornatus, project. (Save the Sunfish, Grant ID: 19393) by Simon Baltais Wildlife Preservation Society of QLD Bayside Branch (QLD) inc. (Version: Saturday, 25 June 2011) 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (Ornate Sunfish, soft spined sunfish, or Ornate Rainbowfish) is a freshwater rainbowfish from the Family Melanotaeniidae. This Melanotaeniidae family of fish is only found in Australia and New Guinea. It’s a small, mainly insectivorous species, the largest individuals reaching a maximum length of approximately 80mm (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (R. ornatus) is said to be a small, obligate freshwater fish species restricted to the coastal wallum habitat of eastern Australia (Hancox et al, 2010), where waters are slow flowing and acidic, and submerged and emergent vegetation is plentiful (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). However, Wildlife Queensland has found this species utilising other habitat types, such as gallery rainforest along Tingalpa Creek West Mt Cotton, a finding supported by BCC (2010). Good populations of R.ornatus were particularly found in clear slow – medium flowing streams supporting no aquatic or emergent vegetation located within gallery rainforest. The species was particularly common in 12.3.1 Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains (Endangered) within a landscape comprised of 12.11.5 Open forest complex with Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. major on metamorphics ± interbedded volcanics
