Testing abalone empirical harvest strategies, for setting TACs and associated LMLs, that include the use of novel spatially explicit performance measures

The management of abalone stocks is difficult for many reasons including their high value and the exceptional levels of spatial structuring found in their stocks. In Tasmania, for example, suggestions to change such things as a legal minimum length or introduce a formal harvest strategy to replace...

Review and update harvest strategy settings for the Commonwealth small pelagic fishery

This study undertook ecosystem and population modelling to evaluate and provide advice on the reference points (e.g. biomass depletion levels) and settings (e.g. exploitation rates) for the four main target species in the harvest strategy of the Commonwealth Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF) – Jack...

Improve catch rate standardizations to account for changes in targeting

In Australia many stock assessments are dependent upon catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) to act as an index of relative abundance of fished stocks through time. But CPUE trends can be affected by many factors other than just stock size changes. Around Australia, and internationally, numerous and...

Evaluating rotational harvest strategies for sea cucumber fisheries

This project evaluated the benefits of a rotational harvest strategy (the Rotational Zoning Scheme - RZS) in the Queensland East Coast Sea Cucumber (Bêche-de-mer) Fishery and found that, in general, the current management arrangements result in a low risk to most fishery species and reduce the...

Seafood CRC: genetic selection for Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) resilience in the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) breeding program

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) continues to have a significant economic impact upon production of sea-farmed Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. Reducing mortality is economically important for the fish farmer and is equally important from an animal welfare perspective. The process of freshwater bathing...

Seafood CRC: optimisation of viral clearance from broodstock prawns using targeted RNA interference

Economic losses due to diseases mostly caused by viruses remain a major obstacle to realizing the production potential of prawn aquaculture industries in many parts of the world. Broodstock used in prawn hatcheries in Australia are generally managed quite intensively and numbers used are generally...

SCRC: Optimising External Colour in Farmed Crustaceans, using Penaeus monodon as a model species.

Consistent, deep red coloured cooked prawns are highly sought after in the Australian market and accordingly fetch premium market prices. Farmed crustacean species commonly have suboptimal colour consistency and/or colour intensity. There is an industry driven need to therefore optimise colour...

SCRC: Tackling microbial related issues in cultured shellfish via integrated molecular and water chemistry approaches

Aquacultured species such as oysters and abalone live their entire lifecycle in seawater, and co-exist with a wide range of innocuous, pathogenic and beneficial microorganisms. Some microbes cause diseases resulting in significant losses for the farms. This study set out to provide shellfish...
