- Summary:
-
Counts were made of salt-water crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the estuarine portions of four river systems in the north-west Kimberly, Western Australia - The Lawley, Mitchell, Roe-Hunter and Price Regent. during the ten day survey 463 crocodiles were spotted, including 109 hatchlings. The maximum number of non-hatchling crocodiles present in the four systems is estimated at 697. Very few large crocodiles were seen. Populations were particularly small in the Lawley and Mitchell Rivers and the potential for recovery in this area is also small. Prospects for recovery in the Roe-Hunter and Prince Regent were a little better buy further surveys will be necessary to show population trends.
