Preface. Tagging for telemetry of freshwater fauna

Craig Franklin influenced my drafting of this preface and comments from Jayson Semmens substantially improved the manuscript. I am grateful to John Koehn and colleagues from the Arthur Rylah Institute for pioneering radio-tracking of freshwater fishes in Australia and sharing with me their knowledge of radio-tagging. Thank you to Andrew Boulton and Leanne Hamilton for support and guidance in editing this preface and the special issue.
