This project aims to assess the impacts on fishes of increasing numbers of chemical pollutants entering Australia's waterways. Critical contaminants effect the chemosensory capabilities of endemic fishes that are commonly found in Australia and play an important role in fisheries and coastal biodiversity. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the study will interrogate the fundamental impacts of chemical pollutants on the detection, perception and behavioural reactions to a herbicide, a pesticide and a metal, and their impacts on finding food, avoiding predation and finding mates. Significant benefits include the timely intervention and implementation of improved environmental management strategies and policies.

该项目旨在评估进入澳大利亚水道的越来越多的化学污染物对鱼类的影响。关键污染物影响澳大利亚常见的地方性鱼类的化学感官能力，并在渔业和沿海生物多样性中发挥重要作用。这项研究将采用多学科方法，询问化学污染物对除草剂、杀虫剂和金属的检测、感知和行为反应的基本影响，以及它们对寻找食物、避免捕食和寻找配偶的影响。重大好处包括及时干预和执行改进后的环境管理战略和政策。
