Lupton, C. J., M. J. Heidenreich and P. Byrne (1995). An assessment of fisheries resources and fishway modification on the Ben Anderson tidal barrage in the Burnett River, Queensland 1994. Department of Primary Industries, Brisbane, Queensland (Australia).

Due to community concern about the perceived decline in fish stocks above and below the tidal barrage in the Burnett River, a project was undertaken to: document species diversity, abundance, reproductive condition and the migratory timing of the species in the upper estuarine limits of the river; assess and compare modified vertical slots and the existing pool-weir configuration; identify design and operational deficiencies whilst offering feasible modifications and preliminary costings that would enhance the fishway's performance. Results and recommendations are reported.
