Observations on fishes of the family Galaxiidae: Part 1
In addition to their general importance as members of a remarkable family, the Tasmanian Galaxiidae are of special interest for several reasons. First, there are, as shown below, good grounds for believing that the island provides the type-locality of the genotype of the foundation-genus; secondly, the early observations of Johnston in Tasmania rank in

Diversity and Distribution of Amphibians and Freshwater Fishes on Australian Islands
ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 3% of the Earth's surface, yet support nearly 10% of all known animal species, majorly represented by freshwater fishes and amphibians, both of which are highly threatened groups. Geographically isolated freshwater species, such as those inhabiting islands, are at high risk. Australia, with nearly 9300

Observations on fishes of the family Galaxiidae: Part 2.
In Part 1 of these Observations (Scott, 1936), devoted to a taxo- nomic survey of the family, with descriptions of new species, the hope was expressed that in succeeding parts it would be found possible to consider the Tasmanian Galaxiidae described prior to 1936.

ABSTRACT Understanding the interactive effects of non‐native species and alterations to flow regimes is important to combat threats to freshwater communities. Low‐flow conditions may either exacerbate or offset influences of non‐natives but the mechanisms determining the direction are poorly understood.

Family Galaxiidae Müller, 1846. Diagnosis (modified from McDowall & Frankenberg 1981). Distinguished by the following combination of characters: small to medium sized (39–580 mm); body elongate, generally cylindrical to laterally compressed, scale-less; primary trunk lateral line as a series of closely-spaced superficial neuromasts within a mid ...

ABSTRACT Intermittent streams dominate global river networks and are becoming increasingly common due to global change. Understanding the mechanisms by which freshwater biota respond to flow recession, drying, and intermittence is therefore important to our ability to support biodiversity as ecosystems adapt to ongoing stressors.

Reproduction in Galaxias fasciatus Gray (Salmoniformes : Galaxiidae) [PDF]
A study of the reproductive cycle was made on Galaxias fasciatus Gray from streams on Banks Peninsula, South Island, New Zealand. There was no spawning migration; adults remained in the usual adult habitat to breed.
