Project description
Understanding the potential of wild populations to respond to the selective pressures imposed by humans is a major research priority. This project will combine genomic and environmental datasets to infer parentage and adaptive potential in a reintroduced population of a threatened fish. It will contribute to a large research program funded by the Australian Research Council that investigates evolutionary potential of small populations in nature. The outcomes will help evaluate and improve local and ecosystem-level initiatives towards the sustainable management of aquatic biodiversity.
