	Recovery Plan for the Pedder, Swan, Clarence, Swamp and Saddled Galaxias
		Pedder galaxias were also found in the slower flowing regions of several steeper streams draining the ranges to the north and south.
		The decline in Pedder galaxias numbers is thought to be due to predation and/or competition with brown trout and climbing galaxias which were introduced to Lake Pedder when it was flooded in the early 1970's.
		Prior to flooding of the original Lake Pedder, the swamp galaxias was found mainly in the streams and extensive swamps that surrounded the original lake and in tributaries of the Wedge and Huon rivers.

	Galaxias pedderensis (Pedder Galaxias) listing advice
		Prior to the flooding of Lake Pedder in 1972, the Pedder Galaxias was naturally restricted to the original Lake Pedder and adjoining streams.
		The Pedder Galaxias has no particular life-cycle phase which may have caused it to remain undetected throughout surveys, and given that the species lives for around 6 years, it is considered unlikely that the species still exists in the area.
		Lake Pedder and surrounding areas were inundated in 1972 as a result of damming for hydro-electricity.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Dam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment.
		This is similar to a levee, which is a wall built along a river or stream to protect adjacent land from flooding.
		Some of the flow is siphoned off into a separate lake, in front of which is the dam.

		Most of the original lake and slow-flowing habitat of the species was destroyed with the inundation of Lake Pedder and surrounding areas for hydro-electricity in 1972.
