Title: Estuarine Fish Habitat Surveys
Custodian: NSW Fisheries
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
Surveys of fish communities in estuarine habitats, a separate database for each estuary, currently bring consolidated into one database. Data includes physical and envionmental variables, methodology, relative abundance of each species, length frequency, reproduction and feeding data for key species. Sample sites within each estuary sampled at regular intervals during the study period for each. Botany Bay 1977-1979; Jervis Bay 1988-1991; Northern Rivers 1988-1990; South Coast Lagoons 1984-1991 and Hawkesbury River 1992 to present. NSW river estuaries (Botany Bay, Jervis Bay, Northern Rivers, South Coast Lagoons and Hawkesbury River).
