Freshwater Research

Freshwater research is led by Drs David Morgan and Stephen Beatty and Associate Professor Alan Lymbery. It includes research in south-western Australia and Northern Australia and focusses on describing the communities of fish and the impacts of threatening processes e.g. land clearing, salinisation, fishing, invasive pests and other environmental change, on these communities and their ecology.

Our research helps ensure the conservation and sustainability of our aquatic ecosystems and the unique fauna they support. We undertake a broad range of research projects on aquatic ecosystems.
