As well as being one of Australia’s most at-risk freshwater fish, the Swan Galaxias is also one of our most mysterious. Confined to remote locations, only a handful of fragmented and fragile populations remain.
Over the last few months, NRM South in Tasmania has been working with Tasmania’s Inland Fisheries Service and CSIRO to identify suitable new translocation sites and, over the past couple of weeks, 120 fish from four separate populations were moved to new locations.
