This included finalising the publication of three journal articles from the Ingliston rabbit management demonstration site and one article from the analysis of how warren ripping affects the abundance of foxes in addition to the provision of advice, publications and other technical material. Murray Darling Arthur Rylah Institute Under the Basin Plan Monitoring and Basin Fish Survey Evaluation program, Basin scale fish condition 2014-2018 monitoring has been identified as a priority in 2014 and onwards to support tracking of the high level fish targets identified in Schedule 7 of the Basin Plan.

The Melbourne Strategic Assessment Monitoring and Reporting Framework has been established to measure the progress of the program in achieving outcomes for Matters of National Environmental Significance. The program is also committed to best practice land management of conservation areas using an adaptive management approach. Fisheries Victoria Arthur Rylah Institute Trout acoustic study and riparian literature (Regulation & review. Compliance Group) - Trout Assessments The effects of Arthur Rylah Institute This project is investigating the relationship planned fire on between planned burning and predation by predator-prey introduced predators, especially foxes, to see if interactions for predation is exacerbating the impact of landscape resilience planned burning. It will provide land and fire managers with advice on best management practice in relation to the use of planned fire and mitigation of predator impacts on native mammals.
