This study presents the first investigation into the oceanic spawning migrations of Australian long-finned eels ( Anguilla reinhardtii ), a critical and previously undocumented stage in their life cycle. In autumn 2024, twenty adult eels were collected from two estuaries in southern Australia and tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags. Individuals were successfully tracked up to five months, with some migrating as far as ~...

Anguillid eel populations are under threat globally. A particularly vulnerable life‐cycle stage is the migration of mature adult eels downstream from freshwater habitats through estuaries into the sea to spawn. This study investigated the factors associated with downstream migration of the short‐finned eel Anguilla australis (Richardson 1841) from a coastal wetland (Lake Condah) in south‐east Australia, using acoustic telemetr...

Wetlands around the world provide crucial ecosystem services and are under increasing pressure from multiple sources including climate change, changing flow and flooding regimes, and encroaching human populations. The Landsat satellite imagery archive provides a unique observational record of how wetlands have responded to these impacts during the last three decades. Information stored within this archive has historically been...
