My comments were a distillation of anecdotal information from various ANGFA
members who have been collecting Blue-eyes in southern NSW for some time. I
don't have any published info
Is is fascinating to me that they were able to tolerate such low temps
BTW one of our members has reported a population of Signifers of quite
large body size almost on the NSW/Vic border in what is apparently a
landlocked brackish lake
