A Metapopulation Model to Assess Water Management Impacts on the Threatened Australian Lungfish, <i>Neoceratodus forsteri</i> by Charles R. Todd, Andrew J. McDougall, Scott M. C. Raymond, Robin Hale, Timothy R. Brown, John D. Koehn, Henry F. Wootton, Steven G. Brooks, Adrian M. Kitchingman, Tom Espinoza, Benjamin G. Fanson, Peter K. Kind, Sharon M. Marshall, David T. Roberts

“…As this long-lived species (at least 77 years) has delayed maturity (mature at 10 years), field monitoring alone will not be enough to inform the challenge of ensuring sustainable populations. A stochastic metapopulation model was developed for the Burnett River (Southeast Queensland, Australia), an important habitat for the lungfish that is a highly regulated system with extensive water infrastructure. …”
