Stock size of beche-de-mer, and recruitment patterns and gene flow in the black teatfish on the Great Barrier Reef
The main purpose of the project was to provide biological data urgently needed for a sustainable management of the black teatfish fishery in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR); The principal goals were:
1) to estimate the standing stock of the black teatfish and estimate densities of other bêche-de-mer...

Review and synthesis of Australian fisheries habitat research
Project number:

1. To review and synthesise the past decade of Australian research relevant to fisheries habitats. The scope of the review will include : identity of "critical" and "limiting" habitat factors for finfish and shellfish
knowledge of processes linking fisheries with habitats
natural variation in these processes and habitats
and knowledge of major threats to these habitats. The synthesis will aim to document both the existence, and absence, of knowledge of specific processes and patterns of generic application to Australian fisheries and habitats.
2. To use this synthesis to evaluate the suitability, rank and coverage of the six areas of research priority identified in the Cronulla Workshop (Williams and Newton, 1994). These were, in order of priority, 1. Natural Dynamics, 2. Modification of nearshore, estuarine and wetland habitats, 3. Effects of fishing, 4. Change in drainage, 5. Introduction of marine pests, 6. Nutrient inputs.
3. To summarise the results of searches for past and ongoing fisheries habitat research in an annotated bibliography with a spatial reference (lat. / long.) for each study identified. This will be in the form of an ASCII file on computer diskette.

This project was commissioned by FRDC. The task was to review and synthesise the available knowledge on Australian fisheries habitat research and on this basis:
- describe and evaluate the suitability and coverage of the areas of research priority identified at a scientific workshop convened by the FRDC in March 1994, and
- prepare a prospectus of opportunities for the FRDC Ecosystem Protection Program.
The priority issues and impacts reviewed were:
- natural dynamics in fisheries habitats and environmental variability
- changes to drainage and habitat alteration
- nutrient and contaminant inputs
- effects of harvesting on ecosystems and biodiversity
- introduced and translocated pests and diseases.
To obtain this information we conducted a formal literature search and interviews with informants from key organisations in all States and Territories in 1995-96.
The results have been prepared as a detailed scoping review (Volume 2) describing the issues, knowledge gaps and impacts, and proposing more than 60 R&D opportunities. These R&D themes, issues have been summarised as a prospectus here in Volume 1. Sources of citations are provided in Volume 3, and the full bibliography will be linked (HTML) with the scoping review for access on the Internet.
