Technical Report
Water Science Technical Series report WST 61 - This study used acoustic tracking to examine the movement of freshwater cobbler (Tandanus bostocki) in two rivers.
Last updated:

This study was designed to investigate the movement patterns and habitat preferences of T. bostocki (where and where they travelled, triggers for movement and characteristics of the habitats they used) and the hydrological requirements for accessing these habitats (bioconnectivity).

The department is responsible for allocating water across Western Australia for social and economic use, while considering the needs for maintenance of a healthy aquatic ecosystem that supports biodiversity and associated ecosystem services.
