Abstract
This study was commissioned to develop indicators for assessing Black Bream health in the Vasse-Wonnerup Wetlands. The study aims to develop indicators for (i) the body condition of adult Black Bream in the Wonnerup Inlet and Deadwater and (ii) the recruitment of juvenile Black Bream in the Vasse-Wonnerup and to use these indicators to assess the health Black Bream over the period 2011/12 to 2020/21. Black Bream are an iconic species, complete their life cycle within the wetlands, have ‘plastic’ biological characteristics that respond to environmental changes in a predictable way and are often severely impacted by fish kills in the system. This species is therefore an ideal indicator that can be used as a proxy for the health of the broader fish community of the Vasse Wonnerup Wetlands.
