Report Summary
Biological surveys were undertaken as part of both the broad Australian Craysh Project (ACP)
and Australian Aquatic Biological Survey (AABS) and a targeted sub-project on the Gosford
LGA, Project 100056, Australian Aquatic Biological 2010. The main sponsors for this project
were Australian Aquatic Biological and Gosford City Council under their Ecological Research
Grants Program 2010 that was assisting with biological research projects for the whole Gosford
LGA. Surveys of the Gosford LGA are completed on a catchment/drainage basis and the Mangrove
Creek to Wisemans Ferry area is the tenth area surveyed completely as part of the broader Gosford
LGA project.
The area was surveyed between July 2009 and March 2012, over this period the creeks and streams
varied from dry to strong owing. The ndings of these surveys are presented in this report. Note:
Glenworth Valley was surveyed in July 2009 as part of the ACP and the results of that survey are
included in this report.
This area is a mixture of small scattered rural catchments and pristine mountain catchments,
protected by a series of National Parks, State Forests and Reserves. The area includes the water
supply schemes of Mangrove Creek Dam and Mangrove Creek Weir supplying freshwater to the
residents of the Central Coast.
As a water supply catchment it was hoped that the feeding streams would be in good condition
and our surveys conrm this expectation. The streams were without exotic weed outbreaks and
generally free of exotic pest sh species. The native riparian zones where mostly intact and native
species were plentiful throughout the survey area. Aquatic conditions in the vast majority of survey
sites were excellent and native species were thriving
Of signicance was the discovery of the yabby Cherax destructor within the catchment. This is the
rst record of this invasive species within the catchment and it represents a serious threat to native
craysh and frog species.
Aquatic biodiversity and population densities across the catchment were very good and surveying
the area was a pleasure. The full results of this aquatic biodiversity survey are presented in this
report.

1 Background
The Gosford LGA is experiencing rapid growth
and development. This high population coastal
area represents a signicant environmental asset
that is fundamentally important to our lifestyle
and economy. Implementing the infrastructure
needed to support the increased population,
agriculture and tourism must be undertaken
so as to minimize or avoid ecological impacts
on coastal vegetation, wetlands and threatened
species. It is essential that management agencies
have the information on hand to wisely plan the
development and future of these fragile coastal
regions. Additionally, Gosford LGA will be
increasingly affected by global warming and
climate change. Any decisions made today
could have lasting effects on the biodiversity
of this coastal area. Currently, however,
management agencies do not have access to
all the appropriate information to enable the
protection of our coastal crustacean and sh
species and their fragile aquatic habitats.
Over the last few years the Australian Craysh
Project (ACP) and Australian Aquatic
Biodiversity Survey (AABS) has been surveying
eastern Australia for freshwater craysh and
other aquatic fauna. These surveys have made
numerous important discoveries. In addition
to recording new knowledge and describing
several new species of craysh in the region,
the survey has also revealed that an alarming
proportion of the region’s endemic species
appear to be facing serious threats.
With the support of Gosford City Council the
whole of the Gosford LGA will be surveyed on
a catchment by catchment basis and the results
collected will greatly increase the knowledge
base and allow better management of these fragile
coastal ecosystems and help the conservation of
our aquatic species. Additionally, results of the
surveys are included within the ACP and AABS
databases and the Ofce of Environment and
Heritage’s, Atlas of NSW Wildlife database.
2 Introduction
The majority Central Coast Region is mostly
pristine natural bushland protected by Yengo,
Dharug and Popran National Parks, McPherson
State Forest and large catchment reserves.
Some of the upper catchment around Bucketty,
Kulnura and Mangrove Mountain being semi
rural developments and some smaller industrial
areas. The catchment includes Mangrove Creek
Dam and Mangrove Creek Weir supplying
freshwater to the residents of the Central
Coast. This survey includes Mangrove Creek
catchment, the creeks and streams draining
directly to the Hawkesbury River between
Spencer and Wisemans Ferry and then streams
between Wisemans Ferry and Bucketty. The
results of our aquatic survey are recorded in this
report
Note: The Gosford LGA for the purpose of
AABio biological surveying is divided into
grids. This survey represents grids: 15, 35, 65,
83, 84, 103, 104, 120 and 121.

3 Aim of This Study
The primary aim of Project No. 100056
is to determine what freshwater craysh
occur where in the Gosford LGA. Primarily
freshwater craysh are the priority and the
Gosford LGA represents a signicant area for
craysh distributions, yet little is known on
the distributions of craysh in this area. Prior
to the start of this research project only two
species have recorded distributions within the
LGA (Euastacus australasiensis and Euastacus
spinifer) yet the extent of their distribution are
unknown. Additionally, the area includes a
number of coastal lagoons, lakes and streams all
with independent catchments draining directly
to the Tasman Sea that have been isolated from
each other for millions of years and many
containing unrecorded craysh species.
The project also records information on all the
other aquatic fauna found in the LGA as well
as information on landforms and vegetation.
All this is in order to facilitate the better
conservation and management of the aquatic
ecosystems of the Gosford LGA.
Note: For environmental and hygiene reasons
(transfer of pests, diseases and weeds, etc.)
each of the catchments are treated as individual
systems and are surveyed separately with
equipment and personnel being sterilized
between catchments. A copy of our Hygiene
Protocol and Code of Practice is available
online at www.aabio.com.au

4 Research Methods
A large number of sites within the catchment
were surveyed (Maps 1-3) to identify potential
habitat areas and species present. The survey
was relatively unobtrusive and consisted of
various methods.
4.1 Methods
Site co-ordinates and altitude were recorded
using a Magellan Explorist 600 handheld GPS.
Specimens were collected using a variety of
methods to suit the conditions at each survey
site.
Visual observation of craysh presence/
activity. Generally, burrowing activity is
the most common indication of craysh
in the area, although visual observation
is also often a useful technique to record
the presence of craysh that are active
on the forest oor or stream bed during
sampling.
Visual search for shell fragments and
remnants of craysh or molluscs.
Craysh moult their shells to grow a
new larger shell discarding the old shell,
they lose claws due to ghting or claws
are left from animal predation. Snail and
mussel shells are often stranded as water
recedes or carried onshore by predators.
Searching for shell remnants can give a
good indication of the species present,
the numbers of animals in the population
and an indication of the predators in the
area feeding on the craysh/molluscs as
each predator has its own signature re
shell remains.
Active netting. Scoop nets were used
to scoop the bottom sediments, under
logs, through leaf litter, under banks
or through reedy sections, etc. This
is a particularly important method to
detect species that do not respond to
baits or traps and particularly effective
in muddy/turbid water. Three scoop nets
were utilized: Small - 300 mm diameter
hand held scoop. Medium - rectangular
rake with 600 mm x 200 mm opening.
Large - 600 mm x 700 mm scoop net.
Structure removal and probing. Craysh
and molluscs shelter under rocks and
logs, etc. and time was allocated to
lifting such shelter objects and searching
by hand for fauna. This is another
particularly important method to detect
species that do not respond to traps or
nets.
Burrow excavation by hand. Most
craysh species construct burrows, thus
an integral part of the survey involved
careful excavation of burrows by hand to
search for craysh. This is a particularly
important method to detect species that
do not respond to traps or nets.
AABio collectors use small box traps
for freshwater collecting. They are
baited with sh and left for a designated
period of time. These type traps have
a steel ring entrance so larger air
breathing animals cannot enter and any
aquatic animals captured will stay alive
and can be returned to the water after
identication.
Most animals were examined at the collection site
and released after identication. Some voucher
material was retained where appropriate, and
all retained specimens were placed in transport
containers with a small amount of water and
some vegetation from the site and returned to
the laboratory. Selected specimens were placed
in glass aquaria and photographed. Crustacean
specimens were then euthanized by freezing for
at least 24 hours and subsequently stored in clear,
labelled specimen jars containing 70% ethanol.
Tissue samples were retained in cell lysis buffer
from selected specimens for subsequent DNA
analysis, as part of the broader ACP.
These simple methods were used to nd
and capture freshwater aquatic animals for
identication across the survey area. However,
AABio employs a code of practice that is
designed to limit the transfer of any pests and
diseases from one catchment to another. For
each catchment, separate traps and nets are
utilized and boots, etc. of eld workers are

sterilized between catchments.
All collections were authorized by the NSW
DPI Fisheries under Scientic Collection Permit
P05/0077-4.1. All collections were authorized
by the National Parks and Wildlife Service,
under Scientic Licence SL100138.

5 Results and Discussion
Please note that results listed here are indicative
only. This is just a snapshot of the species at
that site at that time and reects the species
throughout the system. Over time, during
different conditions, different species or
numbers may be present.
5.1 Crustaceans
5.1.1 Freshwater craysh.
Prior to this research project only Euastacus
australasiensis and Euastacus spinifer were
recorded from the Gosford LGA. Additionally,
coastal habitats in NSW are know to contain
two undescribed species of freshwater craysh
of genus Tenuibranchiurus and Gramastacus
and these were also targeted. Neither Euastacus
australasiensis and Euastacus spinifer have
been previously recorded from the Mangrove
Creek to Wisemans Ferry region but they were
expected to occur in the region.
Survey No. 100056-1 of Wamberal Lagoon
identied two species of craysh in that
catchment, an endemic species Gramastacus
sp. and an invasive introduced species Cherax
destructor. Both these species were specically
searched for in the area, unfortunately we did
nd Cherax destructor within the survey area.
Both Wyong LGA to the north and Gosford
LGA to the south represent a signicant
freshwater craysh distribution area. Though
the knowledge base is small there seems to be
a cut off line roughly running from Wamberal
Lagoon, through Narara and then up through
Central Mangrove that represents a species
distribution line with one species Euastacus
spinifer occurring on both sides, two species
(Cherax setosus and Gramastacus sp.) only
north of the line and one species Euastacus
australasiensis only south of the line. This
project will map that line and the distribution
of these craysh species along that line and the
surrounding region. A scientic manuscript on
those ndings is proposed.

5.1.2 Euastacus craysh
We were able to conrm the presence of
Euastacus australasiensis within the upper
catchments of the survey area. The species was
in good numbers at the survey sites. WPT111,
WPT136, WPT124.
Figure 4. Euastacus australasiensis from WPT124
5.1.4 Cherax craysh
Yabbies Cherax destructor unfortunately
were found within the catchment. They are an
invasive species that has the ability to grow
fast, breed from only 6 months of age and have
large broods multiple times per year. They are
a problematic species that is known to have
adverse effects on native fauna. This is the rst
record of this pest species within Mangrove
Creek drainage and it is disappointing. At this
time the species was only recorded from the
one creek system so it seems newly established.
WPT109.
We were able to conrm the presence of
Euastacus spinifer which was well distributed
in exceptionally good numbers throughout
the catchment. WPT030, WPT105, WPT107,
WPT112, WPT123, WPT132, WPT126,
WPT102, WPT103, WPT104, WPT135.
Figure 6. Cherax destructor WPT109
5.1.5 Freshwater shrimp - Atyidae
Freshwater Shrimp were recorded from the
catchment. The conditions looked perfect
for them and we expected them to be well
distributed. WPT114, WPT121, WPT131,
WPT127.
Figure 7. Atyidae shrimp from WPT114
Figure 5. Euastacus spinifer from WPT123
5.1.3 Gramastacus craysh
No Gramastacus craysh have been
collected within any of the catchment areas
surveyed. Some potentially suitable habitat
areas were recorded from the survey area but
no craysh were observed.
5.1.6 Freshwater crabs
Freshwater crabs were targeted in this greater
survey of the Gosford LGA. This is the tenth
and nal survey of the region and to date we
have not found any totally freshwater crabs in
any of the freshwater environments.

5.2 Fish Species
5.2.1 Poeciliidae
The plague minnow or mosquito sh Gambusia
holbrooki are an introduced species that is a major
pest and is having devastating repercussions on
our native species. Mosquito sh Gambusia
holbrooki were recorded from this catchment.
Most of the creek systems were in pristine
condition with intact riparian zones. Mosquito
sh prefer slow moving water with open sky,
they don’t like owing water with a heavy
canopy. Most of the upper catchments had good
canopies and most of the records of this species
are from the streams through rural areas with
open sky creeks. WPT106, WPT113, WPT107,
WPT121, WPT131, WPT134, WPT124.
Their robust nature and bright colouration
makes them popular as an aquarium species
and they are not normally found in natural
waterways of NSW. They have been identied
from other catchments, Mooney Mooney Creek
and Pearl Beach within the Gosford LGA but
they were not recorded in this survey which was
excellent news.
5.2.3 Pseudomugilidae
Pacic blue-eyes Pseudomugil signier were
not observed in the catchment.
5.2.4 Eleotridae
The creek systems were perfect for gudgeons
and the gudgeon numbers recorded from
numerous sites were exceptional reecting the
pristine conditions of the catchment.
Figure 8. Gambusia holbrooki WPT134
Figure 9. Striped gudgeon WPT115
Other pest and exotic sh species like White
Cloud Mountain minnows, swordtails, guppies,
mollies, carp and goldsh were all absent
from the catchment. Much of eastern NSW
is impacted by these pest species and their
absence in the survey area was fantastic news
and very encouraging for the future health of
the local environment and prosperity of the
native aquatic fauna.
5.2.2 Cyprinidae
The White Cloud Mountain minnow (Tanichthys
albonubes) is an introduced freshwater sh
species usually restricted to home sh tanks. It
is a robust species and a member of the carp
family being a native of China.
Striped gudgeons Gobiomorphus australis were
common at many survey sites, being in huge
numbers at some sites. They are a stout gudgeon
best identied by ve to seven dark stripes
on their side and a dark bar running from the
rear of the eye. WPT114, WPT115, WPT116,
WPT119, WPT120, WPT134.
Figure 10. Striped gudgeons
Mangrove Creek to Wisemans Ferry Catchment Report 15

Figure 11. Adult empire gudgeon
Empire gudgeons Hypseleotris compressa were
common at several sites. They are a medium
sized gudgeon preferring reeds and weeds to hide
in during the day. They are best distinguished
by a series of white dots on the rear of the dorsal
n. WPT115, WPT116, WPT117, WPT118.
5.2.7 Prototroctidae
Australian smelts Retropinna semoni were
recorded from Mogo Creek. They are an
elongated slender body sh with a light olive
green back and an almost transparent look.
Figure 13. Australian smelts
Figure 12. Small empire gudgeons were
everywhere at WPT116
5.2.5 Galaxiidae
Common jollytails (Galaxias maculatus) were
surprisingly not recorded from the catchment.
5.2.6 Anguillidae
Freshwater eels, both long nned (Anguilla
reinhardtii) and short nned (Anguilla australis)
were expected to be in most of the permanent
creek systems, however, they were not targeted
in this survey. The area was perfect for eels and
we expected them at most locations. They were
observed at WPT114.

Freshwater snails Glyptophysa gibbosa were
found in the catchment. WPT122, WPT134.

Figure 16. Freshwater Snails WPT122
5.4 Macroinvertebrates/Insect
Larvae and Tadpoles
Mud-eyes, beetles, bugs and tadpoles were
in exceptionally good numbers in all creeks
and swamps. The good quality water and
habitat across the area was very suitable to
macroinvertebrates and tadpoles, etc. WPT030,
WPT106, WPT108, WPT110, WPT118,
WPT119, WPT120, WPT121, WPT122,

WPT126, WPT127.
Figure 18. Mayfly nymphs were common
throughout the catchment
5.5 Birds
Birds were not a part of this survey, and aquatic
birds were not recorded from the catchment.
Most of the catchment had intact riparian zones
that are unsuitable for many aquatic birds. Only
ducks were observed on the larger ponds in the
rural catchments.

5.6 Site Results
Generally the survey area was in an excellent
state without any large aquatic weed outbreaks,
most streams were in excellent condition.
5.6.1 Central Mangrove
WPT030 Popran Creek crossing Wisemans
Ferry Rd. Here the creek was clear owing
over a mostly sandy substrate through eucalypt
forest, occasional loose rocks, aquatic weeds.
The creek looks pristine, and was full of
Euastacus spinifer juveniles by the dozen and
large dragony larvae (coutas).

Figure 22. WPT105 Whipbird Creek
WPT105 Whipbird Creek crossing Wiseman
Ferry Road, a small clear owing creek with
cobbled substrate through the forest (banksias,
eucalypts), looks pristine. We surveyed the creek
directly below the culvert under Wisemans Ferry
Road. As we approached a large Euastacus
spinifer was prowling in the creek. We managed
several photos before it withdrew into the pipe
under the road. Figure 23, 24 and 25 E. spinifer.

WPT106 Tributary of Mangrove Creek crossing
Waratah Road. This is a small clear owing creek
with cumbungi or bulrush (Typha sp), native lily
(Alocasia brisbanensis) and scattered eucalypts.
There was duck weed on the surface, with lots
of plague minnows Gambusia holbrooki and
large numbers of caddis larvae. The creek was
draining a rural property with dams on the creek
and duckweed on those dams.
WPT109 Crafts Creek crossing Maroney Rd,
this is a small owing stream, with sandy/silty
substrates, some iron bacteria scattered gums,
ferns, Gymea lilies and wattles. Unfortunately,
we discovered an invasive species of freshwater
craysh (yabbies Cherax destructor) thriving
in this creek. This is the rst record of this
invasive species in the catchment. Tadpoles and
macroinvertebrates were also common.

When rst surveyed in January 2011 this site
was a dry stream bed with hundreds of burrows.
The reason for this very high burrow numbers
was unknown. The site had sandy clay ground
with erect rushes Juncus sp., tea trees and swamp
banksia. The burrows were down into water the
table 1 m down, after serious excavation we
found Euastacus spinifer in the burrows. When
the site was surveyed again in April 2012 it was
ooded with a tannin coloured owing stream,
reed, tee tree, scattered paperbarks and was full
of tadpoles, macroinvertebrates.

6 Conclusion
Both the giant spiny craysh Euastacus
spinifer and the Sydney craysh Euastacus
australasiensis were conrmed from the survey
area which was a key component of the greater
research project. Both these species were
in exceptionally good numbers in relatively
pristine creeks. Unfortunately, we also
discovered an invasive species of freshwater
craysh the yabby Cherax destructor within the
survey area. Only found at one site which was
good news but even so it must be considered
a serious threat and environmental issue. The
long term ramication on the native species of
the region is unknown but cannot be good as
this invasive species has been shown in the past
to have negative impacts on native craysh and
frogs.
Tadpoles, frogs and macroinvertebrates were
common and widespread in exceptionally good
numbers across the catchment
With intact riparian zones and pristine water,
the habitat is unsuitable for most exotic
sh species. Exotic mosquito sh or plague
minnows Gambusia holbrooki were recorded
from the catchment but were mostly restricted
to the open semi-rural areas or lower sections of
the catchment. The majority of the survey area
had intact riparian zones and was free of plague
minnows. Native gudgeons were plentiful and
some streams had exceptional numbers which
reects the pristine conditions of so many of the
streams in the area.

7 Recommendations
This survey records the current distribution
of species and the status of the ecological
health of streams in the Mangrove Creek and
Hawkesbury catchments. Currently the streams
are generally in excellent health and this survey
provides a baseline for any future comparisons.
The following recommendations are offered to
Gosford City Council for the survey area.
Continued support and encouragement
of local environmental community or
landcare groups to continue with riparian
regeneration and weed control, etc.
Biodiversity monitoring of the freshwater
catchment streams on an ongoing basis
would also be recommended. To obtain
signicant information approximately
10 sites should be monitored for aquatic
biodiversity twice per year (winter/
summer) on the same day and then over
time trends can be seen, etc.
Water quality monitoring of the
freshwater catchment streams on
an ongoing basis would also be
recommended. To obtain signicant
information approximately 10 sites
should be monitored for water quality
twice per year (winter/summer) on the
same day and then over time trends can
be seen, etc.
Continue to educate the residents
and commercial entities on pollution
reduction at source.
Continue to educate the residents and
commercial entities on the dangers
of exotic ora and fauna and the
consequences of escape into the
environment.
Continue to educate the residents and
commercial entities on aquatic weeds
and how to identify outbreaks, with
monitoring of their local streams to
identify outbreaks early.
The discovery of small numbers
of Cherax destructor a common
recreational shing species creates an
education problem as both slow growing,
slow maturing native Euastacus craysh
will be captured with the fast growing,
fast maturing invasive Cherax craysh.
Educating the shers and local residents
should be a priority.
Cleared riparian zones through rural
areas encourage exotic sh and plant
species and should be discouraged.
Stock should be fenced from the riparian
areas and the banks replanted with native
trees; this should be encouraged.
