#10361 11 Jun 2016 Approved Notes: pH meter did not appear to be working, giving unusually low/acidic readings. Used a pH test strip, with more 'normal' results. This problem was also reported by the Butlers Bend monitoring team.
Approached by Fisheries staff, just after we had finished monitoring, interested in our activities.
