Fish life

KEY FINDINGS FROM OUR 2025 REPORT CARD

The types of fish found in our rivers and creeks can be an indicator of waterway health.

2025 Report Card partially opened

Due to frequency of update, fish grades for the 2025 Report Card are unchanged – reflecting data from 2022-2023. In both the Ross and Black Basins, fish grades had declined against the previous monitoring period (2019-2020).

 

Fish are only measured at the basin level in the freshwater environments.

 

For more details, visit the 2024 Technical Report Key Insights document.

 

The next round of monitoring will take place during 2025-2026 and included in the 2027 Report Card.
