| Recreational Fishing Grant Program - Research Report - Response of brown trout (Salmo trutta) to willow management and habitat improvements in the Rubicon River - May 2009 Willows were widely used for waterway erosion control in northeast Victoria but are now considered as some of the most invasive riparian and wetland plant species in temperate Australia. River management agencies are now actively managing willows through a variety of control strategies including removal. Concern has been raised that willow removal may impact on stream ecology and have detrimental impacts on recreation trout populations. The response of a localised brown trout population to willow removal and concurrent in-stream habitat enhancement in the Rubicon River indicated a 33% increase in brown trout numbers, over an untreated control. Willow removal, in combination with instream habitat construction, did not negatively impact on trout numbers. PDF file - 492 KB |
