Abstract

Many streams and rivers in the south-west of Western Australia have marginal salinities and only about half of the divertible surface water is fresh (< 3 g 1−1). Although salinization is recognised as the greatest threat to water resources throughout Australia, little is known of its effect on the biota. This paper gives the first quantitative description of the macroinvertebrate fauna of a salinized river system in south-western Australia.
