Author: Wetlands Research and Management P/L (Dr A. Storey) and Hydrobiology P/L (Dr R. Smith) Date: February 2007 Fifty sites covering the length of the Fly River system, from the freshwater / estuarine interface to headwater streams were sampled in mid-2005 using combinations of gill nets, beach seine nets, collapsible baited traps, rod and line, cast nets, long lines, rotenone, electrofishing, and direct observation, with the intention to maximise the number of species taken from each site. Eighty-four native fish species from 29 Families and three exotic fish species from three Families were collected during the survey.
