The Fish Department - Fieldwork
north-eastern New South Wales
March 2002
For two weeks in March, staff of the Fish Section and volunteers joined forces with Tony Gill of the Natural History Museum, London to sample marine, estuarine and freshwater areas on the north coast of New South Wales.
We made 37 collection stations, which are yielding some interesting surprises including new records for New South Wales and a possible new species (details).
The collections have been registered into the research collection. We now have a better understanding of the fish fauna of northern coastal New South Wales. The specimens are available via loans to researchers worldwide.

A second trip to the area was conducted in November - December 2002.
