Abstrakt: The discussion by Gell and Finlayson ([10]) contains incorrect assertions and fails to disprove the multi-faceted independent scientific evidence presented by Bourman I et al i . In recent work (Tibby I et al i ., [32], [33]) and herein, a salinity threshold of <3000 mg/L (total dissolved solids) is applied to define freshwater conditions, as it has a strong ecological basis and is widely used in Australia (Nielsen I et al i ., [26]). In other central basin Lake Alexandrina cores, namely Ax3 and Ax9 (Haynes I et al i ., [16]) and Ax2 and Ax7 (Tibby I et al i ., [33]; supplementary material), I Staurosirella pinnata i is the dominant post-colonisation diatom, represented by more than 60 samples. Gell and Finlayson ([10]) ignore the genetic and the ecological niche modelling evidence demonstrating the prevalence of the freshwater Southern Pygmy Perch throughout the Pleistocene in Lake Alexandrina and the lower River Murray (Buckley I et al i ., [5], [6]).
