| Popis: | •River flows to an inverted estuary were diminished during prolonged drought.•Extreme hypersalinity led to >50% reduction in the range of smallmouth hardyhead.•Salinity exceeded the osmoregulatory limit of the fish in much of its range.•Salinity returned to pre-drought levels following the return of river flows.•The smallmouth hardyhead population recovered to its former range after 2-years. |
