This instrument declares the Murray‑Darling Basin population of Mogurnda adspersa to be a “species” for the purposes of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, made by the Minister under s517 and taking effect the day after registration. Its practical effect is to change legal status under the EPBC Act—affecting regulated actors and administrative processes—but it does not itself set out regulatory measures, reasons, or enforcement details.
