Flow-MER Fish Adult Catch

Electrofishing and fyke net fish catches collected as part of the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) Flow-MER program in the Murray-Darling Basin.\r\n\r\nAbundance and diversity of riverine fish populations are monitored annually at fixed sites within six Selected Areas using a standardised sampling regime involving boat or backpack electrofishing and fine mesh fyke nets (referred to as Category 1 sampling). These methods target large-bodied and small-bodied fish species respectively. All fish were returned to the water after capture and measurement. These data are the catch data.\r\n\r\nThe CEWH’s Flow-MER program examines the contribution of Commonwealth environmental water to the environmental objectives of the Basin Plan 2012 (Basin Plan) and is assisting the CEWH to demonstrate environmental outcomes and adaptively manage the water holdings. Monitoring and evaluation is focused in seven Selected Areas: the Junction of the Warrego and Darling rivers, Gwydir river system, Lachlan river system, Murrumbidgee river system, Edward/Kolety-Wakool river system, Goulburn River and Lower Murray River. \r\n\r\nThis Flow-MER data set includes and extends the long-term data collected at the same sites during the Long Term Intervention Monitoring (LTIM) project (2014-2019).\r\n\r\n\r\n###Acknowledgement\r\n\r\nThe Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder and Flow-MER program acknowledge the First Nations peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands, waterways and skies of the Murray-Darling Basin. We respect their continuing connection to culture and Country, and we thank them for their knowledge and science and the values reflected in these data.\r\n\r\n###Citation\r\n\r\nCEWH (2024) Fish Adult Catch.

作为墨累-达令盆地（Murray-Darling Basin）联邦环境水管理局（Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder, CEWH）Flow-MER项目的一部分，本数据集收录了电捕鱼和刺网捕鱼的渔获数据。

在六个选定区域内的固定站点，研究人员采用标准化采样方案每年监测河流鱼类种群的丰度与多样性，该方案包括船载或背包式电捕鱼法以及细网刺网（称为1类采样）。这两种方法分别针对大型和小型鱼类物种。所有捕获的鱼类在测量后均被放回水中。本数据集为上述渔获数据。

CEWH的Flow-MER项目旨在评估联邦环境水对《2012年盆地计划》（Basin Plan）环境目标的贡献，并协助CEWH展示环境成效及适应性管理水资源持有量。监测与评估工作集中在七个选定区域：沃里戈河与达令河交汇处、格怀迪尔河系统、拉克兰河系统、马兰比吉河系统、爱德华/科莱蒂-瓦库尔河系统、古尔本河以及墨累河下游。

本Flow-MER数据集包含并扩展了2014-2019年长期干预监测（Long Term Intervention Monitoring, LTIM）项目期间在相同站点收集的长期数据。

###致谢

联邦环境水管理局及Flow-MER项目认可原住民是墨累-达令盆地土地、水道与天空的传统所有者和守护者。我们尊重他们与文化及故土的持续联系，并感谢他们贡献的知识、科学见解以及这些数据中所体现的价值观。
