Macquarie Harbour oxygenation trial
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)
The Macquarie Harbour oxygenation trial responds to urgent conservation needs for the Maugean Skate by increasing dissolved oxygen levels. Climate-driven temperature increases over the past 30 years and other factors have reduced oxygen solubility and increased metabolic rates, impacting the harbor's ecosystem. This project aims to enhance oxygenation to support...
