Biological conditions of the Ring and Stitt Rivers: survey of aquatic biota, Spring 2010 and Autumn 2011

This report describes the results of surveys conducted in 2010/11 in the Ring and Stitt Rivers, comprised of one spring 2010 and one autumn 2011 seasonal sampling event for macroinvertebrates and fish.

This report forms part of what is now a routine biomonitoring exercise for the Ring and Stitt catchments. Surveys under this program have been previously reported for autumn and spring 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 (Davies et al. 2005a, b; 2006a, b; 2007; 2008, 2009, 2010). These had been preceded by a detailed survey conducted in 2003/04 (Davies et al. 2004).
