As a consequence, assemblage composition in the restricted tributary was dominated by non-diadromous species. Six diadromous species were sampled only, or in greater abundances, in the unrestricted tributary when compared to the restricted tributary. Species richness and abundances of diadromous species were expected to be greater in a tributary catchment with unrestricted connectivity to the Hunter River estuary when compared to a neighbouring tributary catchment with restricted connectivity. This study examined how temporal and spatial patterns in the distribution and composition of fish assemblages was associated with varying estuarine connectivity and migration barriers in higher altitude reaches in the eastern Hunter River catchment, temperate Australia. Impacts of migration barriers on fish assemblages depend primarily on the location of each barrier within the river network and migration needs of regional fish fauna.
resource development in coastal river catchments contributes to poor fish assemblage health due to the effects of barriers to migration and altered flow regimes.
