Tag lottery for southern bluefin tuna

Project number: 1987-113
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $0.00
Organisation: CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Cleveland
Project start/end date: 28 Dec 1988 - 31 Dec 1988
Contact:
FRDC

Objectives

1. Maintain the interest of tuna fishermen in the tagging program to encourage the return of tags from SBT caught in 1986/87
2. To "flush out" tags from fish that were caught in previous years, but for some reason were not returned

Summary

1 A method was developed to rapidly assess the effectiveness of trap designs and identify
the causes of differences in effectiveness.
2 Fish entry and escape probabilities are correlated across trap designs. The probabilities
are very high for '0' and 'S' trap designs and are much lower for the 'Z' design. Traps
with high entry and escape probabilities are best for a fishing strategy based on short
soak times, while traps with low probabilities are best for strategies using long set
times. 'Z' traps provide a greater catch per set than 'S' traps for soaks longer than about
4 h, while 'S' traps provide better catches for soaks shorter than about 4 h.

Determination of the migration patterns of juvenile southern bluefin tuna and jackass morwong

Project number: 1987-015
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $0.00
Principal Investigator: Ronald E. Thresher

Project start/end date: 28 Dec 1989 - 31 Dec 1989
Contact:
FRDC

Objectives

1. Determine whether or not all juvenile southern bluefin tuna migrate down coast of WA, hence whether Aust fishery based on all or part of each cohort.
2. Validate ageing techniques for adults.
3. Are bays & estuaries in southern Tasmania the sole nursery grounds of jackass morwong?

Summary

This project reports on:

1) our detailed evaluation of current methodologies for otolith chemical analysis, and our recommended procedures when electron probe microanalysis is used for stock delineation in finfish

2) our assessment of the accuracy and precision of otolith probe microanalysis relative to the scales of natural variability in otolith composition, and an evaluation of the extent to which such variability reflects changing environment conditions

3) a direct test of the hypothesis that SE Tasmanian bays are the sole nursery area for Jackass Morwong

4) an evaluation of the likelihood of more than one spawning area/migration route for southern Bluefin Tuna.

Northern shark tagging study

In 1982, CSIRO applied to the Fishing Industry Research Trust Account for funding of a joint biological investigation of northern Australian pelagic fish stocks. At that time these stocks supported a Taiwanese surface gill-net fishery based on sharks, tunas and Spanish mackerel. During the 1970's...
