Environmental flows in the Werribee River have been used to stimulate the migration of fish species including Common Galaxias, Tupong, Short-Finned Eels, and possibly Blue-Spotted Gobies. They also push juvenile Black Bream in the upper reaches of the estuary downstream to the seagrass beds near the river mouth. These areas are important as they provide food and protection from predators.
