An endangered fish species
Allan Wray, Senior Land Services Officer
You have probably heard of the Macquarie Perch, but have you heard of the endangered Blue Mountains Perch?
The Blue Mountains Perch has been found to have significant genetic differences to the Macquarie Perch and could soon be classified as a separate species, rather than a variation of the species. These fish populations are only found in streams at the most eastern edge of the Central Tablelands, within the Greater Blue Mountains area. They are distinctly smaller in size, have a darker colour and sometimes mottled appearance compared to the Macquarie Perch.

The Morrison Government has nominated South Australia’s Flinders Ranges for tentative listing as a UNESCO world heritage site.
Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said the nomination had been submitted on behalf of the South Australian Government and the area’s Traditional Owners, the Adnyamathanha People, who have been custodians of the land for tens of thousands of years.
“The Flinders Ranges is known for its outstanding aesthetic beauty, diverse landscapes and rich biodiversity, and exceptional scientific values,” Minster Ley said.
