Objectives

1. Assess the effectiveness of three forms of amino acid supplementation to improve the amino acid balance of diets containing terrestrial proteins. (CSIRO).
2. To define the daily requirements for essential amino acids and energy of the black tiger prawn during grow-out at specific temperatures.
3. To define the requirements in silver perch for the essential fatty acids and amino acids. (NSWF)
4. Determine the protein and energy requirements of several size classes barramundi at several temperatures.
5. To determine the cost benefit of using commercially available attractants and palatability enhancers in prawn feeds where high levels of grains and legumes are used. (CSIRO)
6. Communicate the research findings to the feed manufacturing industry and the scientific community. (CSIRO, QDPI)

Sentinel sensors: revolutionising our understanding and management of the estuarine environment

This study, undertaken by CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, examines the usefulness of mussels as sentinels for environmental change using a novel biosensor. This project measured the vital signs of heart rate and behaviour in sentinel animals, as they respond to multiple and interacting changes in the...

Need

DAFF is currently undertaking a review of the Commonwealth Policy on Fisheries Bycatch. The review is supported by an Advisory Committee comprising industry, departmental, research and eNGO representatives. Since the first bycatch policy was introduced in 2000, Commonwealth fisheries have been through significant change. This includes changing gear, bycatch mitigation measures, the Harvest Strategy Policy and fishery restructuring. ABARES have looked at TEPS interactions and some fisheries have reported annual bycatch statistics during some periods. However, there has been no overall synthesis and analysis of trends in bycatch since 2000 for Commonwealth fisheries.

Given the importance of this review, a detailed analysis is required to inform the review and provide a means of evaluating changes in bycatch over the last 10 years or so. Such an analysis should include bycatch rate, total bycatch by fishery and bycatch composition.

Objectives

1. Document changes in Commonwealth fisheries relevant to bycatch
2. Collate and synthesise all available bycatch data for Commonwealth fisheries
3. Analyse and report on trends in bycatch rate, total bycatch and catch composition

Summary

The purpose of this report is to inform the review of the Commonwealth Policy on Fisheries Bycatch. In March 2012, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, announced the review of the Commonwealth Policy on Fisheries Bycatch, with the aim of improving the management of bycatch in Commonwealth fisheries. An important need of the review is an understanding of the data that have been collected, and whether these data provide an indication of the effectiveness of measures put in place to reduce bycatch. For each of the key Commonwealth fisheries, this report describes the bycatch arrangements and summarises the available data on bycatch species, and, where appropriate, the trends in bycatch or discards over time.

Low cost management regimes for sustainable, small low-value fisheries based on coastal inshore species

This study provides a comprehensive, process-based guidance to developing low-cost management regimes for small-scale, low-value fisheries. The approach outlined is strongly “bottom-up” in that it seeks to identify pragmatic options and provide practical advice that specifically...
