Kowarsky, J. and A. H. Ross (1981). Fish movement upstream through a Central Queensland (Fitzroy River) coastal fishway. Australian Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research. 32:93-109.
A two-part study was made of fish movement past the Fitzroy River barrage at Rockhampton, Queensland, to assess the feasibilities of routes other than that through the simple pool and weir fishway situated at the barrage, and to monitor fish passage upstream through the fishway by placing a V-trap immediately above the fishway exit. It is concluded that while there is a need for facilitating fish movement upstream past the barrage, the present fishway does not seem to be particularly effective in this regard. Structural and management changes to the fishway which may improve its efficiency are proposed.
