Abstract

As part of ongoing investigations into the Giant Gippsland Earthworm population at Loch Hill, a site occurring within the vicinity of proposed roadworks for the South Gippsland Highway, further investigations into earthworm density and population structure were conducted over a four month period from February to June 2002. Preliminary investigations into release methods for worms and possible release sites for translocation near Loch Hill were also made.
