The Talking Fish project covers 12 reaches within the Basin:
\nRecent decades have brought an increasing realisation that the health of the Murray-Darling Basin is at risk. An array of pressures ranging from the over allocation of water resources, poor land management planning and the expansion of primary production have all contributed to declines in river health. Fish and their habitats have been greatly affected by these pressures, with estimates suggesting native fish populations are at 10% of pre-European colonisation levels.
\nAs all levels of government explore options for improving the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, the knowledge held by people within the community who have had a lengthy association with the waterways of the Basin is being increasingly recognised as a valuable resource. People’s lived experience provides a unique insight into how changes in rivers and their associated habitats have occurred over time. Accessing and recording this information will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Murray-Darling Basin, and help shape the management decisions of the future to achieve improved river health outcomes.
\nMany different groups of people have developed unique relationships with rivers and their associated environments. The long history of recreational fishing within the Basin has led generations of people to spend substantial amounts of time on or near its rivers. Their desire to experience the river and to catch fish has developed a refined understanding of how fish relate to the riverine environment, and consequently how the changes to these environments have affected the status of native fisheries.
\nSimilarly, Indigenous peoples have relationships with the rivers that stretch back tens of thousands of years before the arrival of European colonisers. This strong and lasting association has also allowed Indigenous peoples to witness contemporary changes to the health of the Basin’s rivers and observe how these changes have influenced fish and their habitats. In addition, landholders, long-time residents, regular tourists and an array of other community stakeholders hold stories and memories of the river that are an invaluable resource for guiding its future management.
\nThe project represents a unique collaboration between some of Australia’s most prominent ecological oral historians (both within tertiary institutions and commercial production companies), all four Basin-state fisheries agencies and regional NRM organisations. The integration of research institutions, government and local community stakeholders provides a diverse and flexible framework to access a wide range of participants and ensure the collection, analysis and presentation of information is in accordance with national and international best practice.
\nThe project delivered a suite of oral history recordings from across the Basin, while also developing communication products in the form of radio features and community booklets. This output was deposited with the Mitchell Library of the State Library of New South Wales and the Australian Torres Strait Islander Digital Archive (ATSIDA). Physical copies are held at the Mitchell Library (Accession Record MLOH 647).

He also mentions cross lining and the use of drum nets in floodwaters. He marvels at the dexterity and play habits of water rats, and reflects on their scarcity. He discusses their history of being hunted, skinned, exported, and in some cases, eaten; He says it is customary that only male elders eat water rats and use their skins (men's-business).\r\n\r\nOf the river, Wally and Pat discuss sustainable fishing practices, and talk at length about the Basin's wider management. They consider local agriculture, irrigation, habitat management, water allocation, floods, droughts, pests, weeds, silviculture, as well as the rivers' recreational and fish industries. \r\n\r\nWally and Pat refer to a chemical era, when DDT and Dieldrin were used as a pesticide on vinyards and Tobacco crops along the River. They talk about the chemicals, their effects on native fish, the contamination of farmland, and the ecological footprint of Tobacco growing itself.\r\n\r\nMention of Moira Forest, King River, Ovens

His uncle was a professional fisherman who built boats and sent his catch from Bourke to Sydney. He talks about irrigation; market gardens; how he uses different fishing techniques according to location and desired catch ('heavy gear' up at Merbein, hand lines or 'light gear' in the Ovens); catching trout cod; and fishing to eat.\r\n\r\nOllie grew up on the Ovens and learnt to fish with his father. He talks about the poor state of the river; and 'spinning'.\r\n\r\nThey discuss bait (yabbies, worms, bush crickets, grasshoppers); fires; 'cloud bursts' and de-oxygenated water; fish deaths; restocking; tobacco farming and the overuse of pesticides; \r\nfish poisoning; erosion; the 1944 drought; 1956 and 1976 flood, logging; and talk about Valley Creek and Ovens River running dry; catch and release; changing motivations and philosophy (catching to feed and catching for sport); competitive fishing; transporting fish with a sugar bag; and fishing outside the local area.\r\n\r\nLyell also discusses making and fixing fishing rods.\r\n\r\nMention of Yarrawonga weir, Hume Weir\r\n\r\nMention of the \"swimming pool\", Marshall's Ridge (Lake Buffalo), \"Horrie's Monshing\", Healsville Sanctuary (Melbourne, Victoria) Maloney's Bridge on Buffalo Creek; Murray River Trust; Myrtleford Angling Club; Anderson’s Sawmills in Mildura; Red gum; Willow; Pelicans, Yabby, Tuna, Saltwater Perch\r\n"]]]],["element",{"elementId":"81"},["name","Spatial Coverage"],["description","Spatial characteristics of the resource."],["elementTextContainer",["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7256"},["text","Barwidgee Creek (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7569"},["text"," Merbein (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7570"},["text","Mudgegonga (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7571"},["text","Yarrawonga (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7572"},["text","Nicholson River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7573"},["text","Rose River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7574"},["text","Buffalo River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7575"},["text","Markwood (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7576"},["text"," Lake Buffalo (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7577"},["text","Corryong (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7578"},["text","Bemm River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7579"},["text","Tambo River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7580"},["text","Mitchell River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7581"},["text","Snowy River (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7582"},["text","Marlo (Victoria)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7583"},["text","Bermagui (NSW)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7584"},["text","Eden (NSW)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7585"},["text","Lake Eucumbene (NSW)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7586"},["text","Talbingo Reservoir (NSW)"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"8009"},["text","Porepunkah (Victoria)"]]]],["element",{"elementId":"49"},["name","Subject"],["description","The topic of the resource"],["elementTextContainer",["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7258"},["text","Droughts"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7567"},["text","Floods"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7568"},["text","Tobacco industry"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"7587"},["text","Irrigation"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9264"},["text","Fishing--Australia"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9265"},["text","Fishing industry"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9266"},["text","Bait fishing"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9267"},["text","Fish kills"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9268"},["text","Pesticides"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9269"},["text","Stream flow"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9270"},["text","Tournament fishing"]],["elementText",{"elementTextId":"9271"},["text","Fishing rods"]]]]]]],["tagContainer",["tag",{"tagId":"134"},["name","Bait fishing"]],["tag",{"tagId":"50"},["name","Droughts"]],["tag",{"tagId":"161"},["name","Fish kills"]],["tag",{"tagId":"152"},["name","Fisheries--Equipment and supplies"]],["tag",{"tagId":"60"},["name","Fishing industry"]],["tag",{"tagId":"49"},["name","Floods"]],["tag",{"tagId":"53"},["name","Irrigation"]],["tag",{"tagId":"38"},["name","Ovens"]],["tag",{"tagId":"162"},["name","Pesticides"]],["tag",{"tagId":"7"},["name","Recreational fisher"]],["tag",{"tagId":"156"},["name","Stream flow"]],["tag",{"tagId":"160"},["name","Tobacco industry"]],["tag",{"tagId":"163"},["name","Tournament fishing"]]]]]
