Many freshwater fishes are imperilled globally, and there is a need for easily accessible,
contemporary ecological knowledge to guide management. This compendium contains …

Pelagic spawning riverine fish (pelagophils) spawn in free‐flowing river habitats with
downstream drift of eggs and larvae but the spatial scale is often unknown, and this …

Age information derived from calcified structures is commonly used to estimate recruitment,
growth, and mortality for fish populations. Validation of daily or annual marks on age …

Age structure information of animal populations is fundamental to their conservation and
management. In fisheries, age is routinely obtained by counting daily or annual increments …

Restoring fish populations in regulated rivers requires an understanding of relationships
between hydrology and population dynamics. In the present study, spawning and …

Fish assemblages in dryland rivers have life‐history strategies that have evolved in
response to environmental conditions and triggers, particularly water temperatures and flow …

This edited volume reviews our past and present understanding of the ecology of Australian
freshwater fishes. It compares patterns and processes in Australia with those on other …

Freshwater ecosystems are under extreme stress due to anthropogenic influences including
changing climate, river regulation and water abstraction. Improving our understanding of the …

The role of flow and floodplains for the recruitment of fishes in the Murray‐Darling Basin,
Australia, remains a contentious issue. In this context, the reproductive ecology of golden …

Maximising growth during the months after hatching is critical for fishes to surpass predator
gape limits, make ontogenetic shifts in diet and increase overwinter survival. Constraints on …
