Conservation objectives Long term objective To ensure that the Australian Grayling can survive, flourish and retain its potential for evolutionary development in the wild. Objectives of this Action Statement To maintain or increase the extent of habitat To secure populations or habitat from potentially incompatible land use or catastrophic loss To increase knowledge of biology, ecology or management requirements Intended management actions The intended management actions listed below are further elaborated in DELWP’s Actions for Biodiversity Conservation (ABC) system. Detailed information about the actions and locations, including priorities, is held in this system and will be provided annually to land managers and other authorities. Standard objective Objective explanation To maintain or increase Barriers to fish migration pose a major threat to this species through the the extent of habitat construction of dams and weirs which block access to upstream habitats. Damaged riparian habitats also pose a threat to this species as they may lead to poor water quality and sedimentation. Standard action Details Responsible agents Increase the habitat available to Australian Corangamite Provide Fishways Grayling by facilitating fish passage over barriers CMA, West and ensure Australian Grayling management Gippsland, CMA, requirements are incorporated into design and East Gippsland location of proposed fishways, relevant.
