The Australian Society for Fish Biology held its first conference in 1974, in Tewantin, Queensland, in partnership with the Australian Society for Limnology and the Australian Marine Sciences Association. [6] [A] Since then, the annual conference has been held in all major Australian states and territories, as well as New Zealand in 2003 and ...
Bronwyn May Gillanders FTSE (born 1963) is a marine scientist whose research spans freshwater, estuarine and marine waters while focusing on fish and fisheries ecology. Her studies of the Giant Australian cuttlefish of Northern Spencer Gulf in South Australia revealed the species' sensitivity to increases in salinity; a controversial aspect of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for the ...
The Australian freshwater ecoregions were adapted from the freshwater fish biogeographic provinces identified by Peter Unmack and G.R. Allen, S.H. Midgley, and M. Allen, who were also part of the WWF team. The freshwater fish provinces "were derived through similarity analyses, parsimony analysis, and drainage-based plots of species ranges". [3]
The main academic journal of the Society is the journal Freshwater Science. [33] 4 issues are published each year. The journal was first published in 1982 and called Freshwater Invertebrate Biology. In 1986 the title was changed to Journal of the North American Benthological Society, and the title was changed again in 2012 to Freshwater Science ...

Australian freshwater fish have not fared well since European settlement of Australia in 1788. The majority of Australian freshwater fishes are poorly understood and are under threat due to human activities such clearing of riparian vegetation and siltation associated with agricultural practices, snag removal, overfishing , river regulation ...
Much of his work has been undertaken with the Murray-Darling Basin wetlands and rivers [3] covering approximately 70 percent of the Australian continent. [4] He is the director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science at the University of New South Wales School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, [ 5 ] a member of the Australian ...
He has prepared over 200 professional and conference papers and keynote addresses, including being a keynote speaker at the New Zealand Planning Institute Conference, 2007. [4] In November 2010 he was appointed the inaugural professorial fellow in strategic water studies (commencing March 2011) at the Waterways Centre for Freshwater Management ...
