Comparison of genus and family level AUSRIVAS models for the Darwin-Daly region and relation to land use

G. Lamche and Y. Fukuda

Genus and family levels of the AUSRIVAS model were compared based on the observed to expected ratio scores obtained. The genus level model was assessed as being more sensitive and allowed for some level of land use explanation. If resources allow the genus level model is recommended, however the family level model is acceptable for stream health assessment.
