Summary

With FRDC support, Regional Larval Fish Archives (RLFAs) have been established at the Australian Museum, CSIRO Fisheries in Hobart, the Museum of Tropical Queensland, the Museum of Victoria and the South Australian Museum.  In the RLFAs large larval fish collections can be deposited to be held against future need. Archived larval fish samples represent an extremely valuable resource, one that cost several million dollars to acquire. A huge amount of "potential data" has been saved at the very low cost of incorporating these larval fish collections into the RLFAs.  These samples are now available for study by bona fide researchers for fisheries purposes.

Preparation of a set of guidelines on the procedures necessary to carry out baseline studies at any Australian coastal site

The discharge of ballast water from one port into another is not a recent phenomena, although its importance as a dispersal mechanism for marine species has only been fully realized in the last decade with increasing volumes of ballast water being discharged and more studies being carried out on the...
