This study sought to document the ecological assets of the Adelaide River catchment through a review of existing data and information, and by undertaking a field study of the composition of the freshwater vertebrate fauna at representative sites.
The confluence of the Adelaide and Margaret River marks the boundary of the Adelaide River Floodplain system: a diverse mosaic of wetland habitats which support ecological assets of national and international significance. The floodplain system is recognised as a Site of Conservation Significance in the Northern Territory, and is listed in the Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia.,
