Genomics for persistence of Australian freshwater fish LP110200017 Project Data

The Fish Genomics Project aims to provide genetic information that enables the long-term success of management and conservation programs targeting Australia’s freshwater biodiversity.
The objectives of the project include:
1. To characterise the adaptive genetic diversity functions in four species of Australian endemic Percichthyid freshwater fish (Macquarie perch, Murray cod, Trout cod and River blackfish) and build cost-effective genomic measures of this diversity;
2. To map the distribution of adaptive genetic diversity in fish populations across different environments in south eastern Australia; and
3. Provide practical guidelines to ensure the effective long-term management of native freshwater fish, incorporating measures and monitoring of adaptive genetic diversity.
