Summary

This workshop, entitled "Sustainable Fisheries through Sustaining Fish Habitat", continues the Australian Society for Fish Biology's workshop series and its established tradition of bringing together the country's leading experts to freely discuss specific fish and fishery themes of na­tional importance. Past workshops have pre­ceded the Society's Annual Conferences, and began with a meeting on "Australian Threat­ened Fishes" in Melbourne in 1985. Themes since then have covered diverse topics: "Ad­vances in Aquaculture", "The Use of By-catch Resources in Australia", "Scientific Advice for Managers: Getting the Message Across", "Tag­ging - Solution or Problem?", "Introduced and Translocated Fishes and their Ecological Ef­fects", "Legal Sizes and their use in Fisheries Management", "The Measurement of Age and Growth in Fish and Shellfish", "Larval Biol­ogy", and "Recruitment Processes".

Since 1988, the workshops have been gen­erously supported by the Fishing Industry Re­search and Development Council (now the Fisheries Research and Development Corpora­tion, FRDC). This support has ensured the at­tendance of overseas experts at the workshops, and has allowed professional editorial treatment of the published Proceedings. The Bureau of Rural Resources (now, Bureau of Resource Sci­ences, BRS) has also been most generous in contributing substantially to the costs of publi­cation of Proceedings.

These workshops, and their published Proceedings, are now recognised as benchmarks in the development of fish and fisheries science in Australia.

Summary

The two workshops were hosted by CSIRO Division of Fisheries and enjoyed the professional backup of its excellent Hobart facilities. The workshop on "Larval Biology" which was held on August 20, 1991 was aimed at resolving concerns that fisheries scientists working on the same commercial species in different laboratories were having difficulty in agreeing on adequately staging and identifying larvae. This had implications from temperate to tropical regions and marine to freshwater habitats. It included groups as diverse as penaeid prawns, scallops, demersal finfish such as gemfish or orange roughy and pelagic finfish such as tunas.

Funding for the workshop and administrative resources was provided by the then Fishing Industry Research and Development Council, the workshop coordinated by Dr Don Hancock (formerly Research Director with W .A. Fisheries) and publication of the Proceedings provided by the Bureau of Rural Resources.

National fisheries research technical workshop series

Scientific investigation uses many techniques. The array of available techniques changes over time as some are revised and new ones develop; some techniques stand the test of time better than others. Throughout the use of established techniques we must continually question the suitability, utility...

Need

The ASFB Annual Conference is the key opportunity for Fisheries Managers, Researchers, Academics ans Students to come together to discuss issues relating to Fisheries resources and conservation. In particular, the 2010 Conference and Symposium will focus on emerging issues in relation to Climate Change.

While there is a lot of general talk on climate change, this symposium aims to present some credible science and predictions that can be used as a synopsis of the likely impacts on fish and fisheries.

There are likely to be significant climate change impacts on the biological, economic, and social aspects of Australian fisheries and that there is little consolidated knowledge of the potential impacts of climate change. Both positive and negative impacts are expected, and impacts will vary according to changes in the regional environment: south-east fisheries are most likely to be affected by changes in water temperature, northern fisheries by changes in precipitation, and western fisheries by changes in the Leeuwin Current.

There may be new opportunities for some wild fisheries where tropical species shift southward. There will also be many challenges, (such as that faced by the Tasmanian salmon aquaculture industry due to Atlantic salmon being cultivated close to their upper thermal limits of optimal growth). Nevertheless, it is important that there is potential for adaptation measures to be employed by the industry.

There is a need for fisheries and aquaculture management policies to better integrate the effects of climate variability and climate change in establishing harvest levels and developing future strategies. This will enhance the resilience of marine biodiversity and the adaptive capacity of the fisheries and aquaculture industries.

Please refer to the conference sponsorship brochure (attached) to determine if there is an appropriate category for FRDC.

Objectives

1. Provide a key opportunity for researchers, managers, industry, users and, in particular students to network over emerging issues on Fisheries
2. Provide a forum to discuss techniques for investigating the impacts of climate change on population parameters, distribution, migration, production, and/OR abundance of fish and shellfish in capture and cultured fisheries and on food web processes supporting fish and shellfish
3. Provide an opportunity for scientists to discuss their observational, analytical and modelling approaches with other research teams in order to stimulate methodological improvements
4. Allow experts to identify analytical techniques needed to reliably forecast climate change impacts on freshwater and marine fish and shellfish populations including methods for quantifying the uncertainty in projections and ways to address the uncertainty in policy and management
5. Allow managers from diverse disciplines to discuss policies and strategies for society and users of fish resources to consider in the face of a changing climate and altered ecosystems
