13.01.2022 Some really cool results from Luciano Beheregaray's lab at Flinders Uni on their research on rainbowfishes from different climatic regions and how they can deal... with different climates / adapt to future climates. The article was just published in PNAS (which is one of the top science journals) with an accompanying article in the conversation. https://theconversation.com/which-species-will-win-and-lose https://www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1921124117

09.01.2022 ANGFA VICS PLANNED FIELD TRIP TO KING PARROT CREEK IS NOW CANCELLED. As guidelines to help slow the spread of Covid-19 are refined and more stringent measures a...re put in place, running our field trip on Saturday 4th April now looks like a bad idea. The current advice is "Avoid all unnecessary travel", furthermore, camping in National Parks is now banned. Sorry folks. Watch this space for news about when we will be able to run the next field trip. See more

05.01.2022 A bit of cross fertilisation here: Native fish Australia (NFA) members (and some ANGFA Vic members) spent the early morning, then the late afternoon today, fish...ing for Macquarie Perch for the upcoming "Macka" breeding season at the NFA fish hatchery. The Yarra River has some good populations of Mackas, although numbers are low. Tim Curmi Gybe Forster Brian Daniells See more

05.01.2022 Gosh! A reminder to NEVER release, or allow to be released, any aquarium fish into our precious waterways.

03.01.2022 A new paper just came out online today "Big trouble for little fish: identifying Australian freshwater fishes in imminent risk of extinction" It was from a workshop held around 18 months ago. Basically our goal was to identify the fishes most likely to go extinct in the next 20 years.https://www.publish.csiro.au/pc/PC19053
