The drainages of the Pilbara host unique fishes, including Australia’s only two cave fishes and a number

of species found nowhere else. Although a few introduced species are found in the rivers of the

southern Pilbara (e.g. Mozambique Mouthbrooders in the Minilya, Lyndon and Gascoyne Rivers), most

of the rivers are free from feral fishes. The region shares no species with southern W.A., but a few of the

fishes are found in the Kimberley.
