Phase 2: Establish EMC and prevent colonisation by<br />

undesirable species and Argulus foliaceus<br />

• Fish screens to prevent<br />

network. Eventual<br />

replacement at outlet<br />

with low-head weir with<br />

eel pass.<br />

• Eradication of <strong>fish</strong> in<br />

inflowing stream section<br />

to prevent colonisation by<br />

undesirable <strong>fish</strong>.<br />

• Natural colonization of<br />

EMC <strong>fish</strong> from upstream<br />

• One of EMC functions is<br />

to provide refuge and<br />

forage for otters during<br />

<strong>mining</strong> operations.
