Running Water Ecology in Australia

  • Chapter
Perspectives in Running Water Ecology

Abstract

Less than a decade ago it was possible to state that “for the amount of work that has been published on the ecology of Australian rivers and streams, limnologists outside Australia might well be forgiven for thinking that no running waters exist in Australia at all” (Bayly and Williams, 1973). That statement was evidently so near the truth that no Australian limnologist was prepared to gainsay it. It can no longer stand, however, for even in the few years which have intervened a good deal of work on Australian running waters has been reported.
