Abstract:
Hide details for unnamed section
As a guide for those who want to check on the aquatic biodiversity in the inland-water systems they manage, the former CRC for Freshwater Ecology (CRCFE) has published a summary of advances in our knowledge about monitoring and assessing biodiversity.

The report, Assessing and monitoring aquatic biodiversity: what have we learnt?, outlines aspects of biodiversity that need to be considered before measurements are begun. It describes various different types of biodiversity study and the types of question they can answer. The report also discusses choice of:
· biotic groups to measure,
· the scale of the study in relation to disturbances,
· the number of samples needed, and
· the way the data are collected and interpreted to gain information about biodiversity.
