Phase 2: Establish EMC and prevent colonisation by<br />
undesirable species and Argulus foliaceus<br />
• Fish screens to prevent<br />
colonisation from channel<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 />
Argulus-free populations.<br />
• One of EMC functions is<br />
to provide refuge and<br />
forage for otters during<br />
<strong>mining</strong> operations.
