1. Translating scientific evidence into practical actions is a primary goal of scientists working to inform evidence‐based policy and decision‐making, but how can authors best facilitate new conservation interventions following publication of their research?
2. This case study used two articles in Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems (AQC) to examine the mechanisms and barriers to translating published aquatic science into social, ecological and policy interventions for the conservation of threatened Murray crayfish (Euastacus armatus).
3. These articles revealed how steep declines in Murray crayfish abundance arose from the loss of in‐stream and riparian habitats preferred by crayfish, and demonstrated the social reasons for conserving Murray crayfish to protect the wellbeing of a diversity of people (e.g. Traditional Owners, landholders, ecotourism operators).
4. Following publication of these articles in AQC the authors used multi‐modal communication (e.g. written briefs, personal discussions, seminars, magazine articles, media broadcasts) to translate their findings to stakeholders and the general public.
5. Analysis of relevant documents (e.g. management plans, public information leaflets) and stakeholder interviews uncovered a range of interventions arising from the two AQC articles. Social interventions (e.g. new public signage, ecotourism briefings) were the quickest to occur after publication (1–2 years). Although some changes in management were apparent (e.g. revised Murray crayfish action plans, monitoring programmes), systemic barriers (e.g. policy/funding timeframes) have prevented some ecological and policy interventions from being realized.
6. Diverse communication strategies can help rapidly translate published science into new conservation actions by giving stakeholders the right evidence in the right way to inform their particular practice. Open‐access summaries that explain findings within readily shareable media (e.g. graphical/video abstracts) can be particularly effective in raising early awareness. Some types of intervention, however, may require a long‐term perspective and assistance from boundary‐spanning knowledge brokers with an aptitude for evidence‐based policy development.

通过多模式交流和利益相关方参与对水生保护科学产生影响的途径

1. 将科学证据转化为实际行动是科学家努力为基于证据的政策和决策提供信息的主要目标，但是在发表研究成果之后，作者如何才能最好地促进新的保护措施？
2. 该案例研究在《水生生物保护》中使用了两篇文章：海洋和淡水生态系统（AQC），研究了将已出版的水生科学转化为社会，生态和政策干预措施以保护濒临灭绝的墨累小龙虾（Euastacus armatus）的机制和障碍。
3. 这些文章揭示了由于小龙虾偏爱的河内和河岸栖息地的丧失而使穆雷小龙虾的丰度急剧下降的原因，并说明了保护穆雷小龙虾以保护各种人（例如传统所有者，土地所有者，生态旅游经营者）。
4. 在AQC中发表这些文章后，作者使用了多种形式的交流（例如书面简报，个人讨论，研讨会，杂志文章，媒体广播）将其发现转化为利益相关者和公众。
5. 通过对相关文件（例如管理计划，公共信息传单）的分析和利益相关者的访谈，发现了AQC的两篇文章提出的一系列干预措施。社会干预（例如，新的公共标志，生态旅游简报）在出版后（1-2年）发生最快。尽管管理上的某些变化是显而易见的（例如，修订的Murray小龙虾行动计划，监测计划），但系统性的障碍（例如，政策/资金时限）阻碍了某些生态和政策干预措施的实现。
6. 多样化的交流策略可以通过以正确的方式为利益相关者提供正确的证据，以告知他们的特定实践，从而帮助迅速将已发表的科学转化为新的保护行动。解释易于共享的媒体（例如图形/视频摘要）中的发现的开放获取摘要在提高早期意识方面特别有效。但是，某些类型的干预可能需要长远的眼光，并需要跨边界的知识经纪人的协助，他们需要有基于证据的政策制定能力。
