Requires clearwater with deep, rocky holes and abundant cover(e.g. aquatic vegetation, woody debris, large bouldersand overhanging banks). Spawns spring and summerin shallow upland streams or flowing sections of riversystems.Predicted to occurwithin 10km(DSEWPaC 2012a)Nil.No suitable aquatichabitats.Nil.Prototroctes mairaena Australian Grayling - V, M Occurs in coastal rivers and streams south from theShoalhaven River.Inhabits estuarine waters and coastal seas aslarvae/juveniles, and freshwater rivers and streams asadults. Most of their lives are spent in freshwaterrivers and streams in cool, clear waters with a gravelsubstrate and alternating pool and riffle zones,however can also occur in turbid water. The speciescan penetrate well inland, being recorded over 100km inland from the sea. (Backhouse et al 2008).Predicted to occurwithin 10km(DSEWPaC 2012a)Nil.No suitable aquatichabitats.Nil.Frogs
