Interactions between the abalone fishery and sea urchins in NSW

A sampling method was developed to quantify changes in the abundance of abalone on reefs in NSW from Port Stephens to the Victorian border. The method is based on the repeated sampling of the same, fixed areas and has been used each year since 1994 to provide indices of the relative abundance of...

Effects of Trawling Subprogram: the interaction between fish trawling and other commercial and recreational fisheries

There is worldwide concern over the potential effects of by-catch and discarding of fish in commercial fisheries, particularly trawling. Although mortalities of discards are highly variable, it is likely that a large proportion of fish discarded at sea by trawlers do not survive. Consequently,...

Summary

The aim of this project was to farm, on a pilot commercial scale, two indigenous species of marine fish: snapper, Pagrus auratus; and mulloway, Argyrosomus hololepidotus.

The project involved:

  • development of hatchery techniques;
  • intensive rearing of larvae;
  • transport of live fish;
  • design, construction and testing of seacages for research;
  • grow-out of juvenile fish in tanks and seacages;
  • identifying and treating disease outbreaks in seacages;
  • obtaining production data; and
  • obtaining preliminary marketing information.

The project sought to provide information on the possibility of enhancing wild stocks of mulloway by the release of fish originating from a hatchery.
