16 July 2008 - ENDANGERED SPECIES USING NEW MURRAY RIVER SNAGS
Written by Nick Pavlovski   
Friday, 08 August 2008

"Scientists are excited that several native fish species, including the endangered trout cod, have
been found using new river snags between Hume Dam and Yarrawonga along the upper reaches
of the Murray River.
The resnagging project, which began in 2006, is funded by the Murray-Darling Basin Commission
(MDBC) to replace logs and dead trees at strategic places in the river to act as habitat for fish to
spawn, feed and to avoid predators."
