There have been two Australian projects which have attempted to eradicate trout
from streams and this paper outlines the issues, methodology and lessons learnt
from both of these projects. The first project was conducted in Lees Creek in the
Australian Capital Territory and was designed as a trial to investigate the feasibility
of trout eradication using the ichthyocide rotenone, and to examine whether the
native fish mountain galaxias Galaxias olidus (Günther) would naturally
recolonise the stream. The second project was conducted in the Goulburn River
catchment in Victoria and formed part of a recovery programme for the nationally
threatened fish barred galaxias Galaxias fuscus (Mack).
