FISHOLOGY was commissioned by the Sunshine Coast Council to undertake surveys within three small coasts lagoons, including Tooway Lake, Coonidibah Lake and Stumers Creek. Large and small seine netting and fyke netting was used within ten study sites. Initial surveys indicate that the fish community in each waterbody is distinctly different from each other, and very different from nearby estuarine habitats. The project is part of a two-year master's project being undertaken by a staff member from the council

We were commissioned by the Sunshine Coast Council and the Currimundi Catchment Care Group to undertake a fish assessment of Currimundi catchment, located on the Sunshine Coast. Surveys were undertaken in both 2013 and 2015 with future surveys being planned. The study found that the fish communities present in the lake were very different to what had been found there 12 years ago in previous surveys. The observed increase in fish species diversity over time is likely to be related to an increase of artificial entrance opening, which has caused the system to become more marine dominated.

FISHOLOGY have been engaged by the Sunshine Coast Council to undertake monitoring and research of fish communities in the Bells Creek estuary. A total of seven monitoring events has been undertaken in Bells Creek over the last four years. After this seventh survey, a total of 88 fish, a single shark, four ray species and 14 invertebrate species have been recorded from the Bells Creek estuary. In each of the four study sites large and small seine nets and fyke nets are used to sample fish communities. Results show that Bells Creek contains a highly productive and diverse fish assemblage.
