A comparison of the fishing characteristics and inefficiencies of different otterboard designs under field conditions

Unlike the majority of engineered equipment, the design of fishing gear is tested ultimately in its ability to take or capture live animals which are able to modify their escape responses. For this reason, increases in the efficiency of operation and optimization of hydrodynamic design are not...

Identification of stocks and migration routes of Torres Strait and Gulf of Carpentaria narrow barred Spanish Mackerel, Scomberomorus commerson

Of the eighteen species of Scomberomorus recognized by Collette and Russo (1979), the migratory behavior of only three species S. cavalla (king mackerel), S. maculatus (Spanish mackerel) and S. commerson (the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel) have been studied by tagging programmes. In these instances...

Assessment of Queensland inshore net fisheries

Most of the world’s marine fish harvest still comes from coastal waters despite the rapid development of distant water fishing fleets (McHugh, 1967). Fish yields from estuaries and lagoons are generally high, due to factors including shallowness, inflow of nutrients from rivers, and the...
