The 'A team' ready for river research 

Published on 24 January, 2013 

CQUniversity has strengthened a team of 'aquatic' researchers dedicated to monitoring the ecological health of the mighty Fitzroy River...

They will be checking water and sediment with a particular interest in the health and abundance of macro-invertebrates, the small but visible creatures such as insects, worms, snails and leeches which can serve as 'bio-indicators' of water quality.

Recent Biology graduate Stephen Donaldson and Environmental Science graduate Alison Craig have joined Associate Professor Larelle Fabbro, Senior Post-Doctoral Research Officer Dr Karuna Shrestha and research officer Geeta Gautam Kafle.

"Stephen and Alison were leading students from their undergraduate cohorts last year. They have been training in lab techniques so they are ready to help with sampling and testing in relation to any changed conditions in the river," Assoc Prof Fabbro said.
