Blue carbon and the Australian seafood industry: workshop

Several stakeholders within the Australian seafood industry have demonstrated strong leadership by developing carbon neutral business practices. In 2017, participants in the National Seafood Industry Leadership Program challenged the industry to become carbon neutral by 2030. In response, the...

SCRC: SCRC RTG 3.11: CRC Research Travel Grant: To attend workshop at NIRS 2009 conference (Dr Malcolm Brown)

Visible-near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VNIRS) is a rapid, objective technique that has been used within CSIRO Food Futures (FF) Flagships projects over the past few years to assess flesh quality of animals within breeding programs. More recently, our group has applied VNIRS as part of a...

Comparative evaluation of Integrated Coastal Marine Management in Australia - Workshop

The need for Integrated Management (IM) of diverse marine activities is increasing, but there has been no agreed IM framework. In 2017 and 2018, a team of researchers collaborated to develop a framework for implementation and a ‘lens’ for evaluation of IM....

A workshop to investigate the development of training and accreditation procedures for provision of scientific data by the fishing industry

Project number: 2000-304
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $14,785.00
Principal Investigator: Tony D. Smith
Organisation: CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Hobart
Project start/end date: 30 May 2000 - 30 Sep 2003

Need

There would be many advantages in having the fishing industry collect some of the basic data needed for stock assessment and environmental monitoring. The need is to develop a program for this to occur in an efficient, effective and accountable manner. The first need is to bring together key stakeholders who would need to be involved if such a program were to be developed. The stakeholders would include fishing industry associations, fisheries scientists (government and non-government), fisheries training agencies, resource and environmental management agencies and groups like Ocean Watch.

Objectives

1. To discuss and scope ideas for developing industry capability for scientific data collection
2. To develop a full proposal for submission to FRDC in December 1999.

Need

The management of northern elasmobranchs has a strong need for research to address local and regional management issues. The need is fundamental, the Northern Shark Stock Assessment Review Workshop (QLD, NT, WA and the Commonwealth), Broome 2000, identified the lack of species identification in NT and QLD catches in target and bycatch fisheries as a major concern. This has been clearly recognised at State/Territory, national (NAFM) and international (FAO, IUCN) levels. The sustainability of these species is also an explicit priority with stakeholders. The Northern Australian Fisheries Management (NAFM) Workshop (QLD, NT, WA and the Commonwealth) identified research into elasmobranchs as high priority in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The NAFM Workshop agreed to write to FRDC to reiterate the high priority of this project. Professor Carl Walters, at a Stock Assessment Workshop in Darwin, examining northern shark catches, also highlighted the issue of inadequate data (Walters and Buckworth 1997) while the National Shark Advisory Group (Nov. 2000) also identified similar issues. There is also a clear need to determine the extent of shared stocks, both within Australia and with Indonesia, to ensure the management scale is appropriate. This project will also address the critical need for information on the biology and catch of sawfishes in northern Australia, research for which Environment Australia have also indicated their support. The first phase of this project (Jul 2001 - Jul 2002) received a high priority from QFIRAC 2000 and was funded by FRDC (FRDC 2001/077). Environment Australia and ACIAR have also funded complementary research on sharks and rays in northern Australia and Indonesia. The current project is critical to ensuring these studies have valid, up to date information on the current catches in northern fisheries. QFIRAC has given this project very strong support, ranking it second of all proposals submitted.

Objectives

1. Establishment of long-term collection of catch composition data from target shark fisheries in northern Australia (NT Joint Authority Shark Fishery, NT Coastal Net Fishery, QLD Joint Authority Shark Fishery, QLD N9 Shark Fishery, WA Joint Authority Shark Fishery, WA North Coast Shark Fishery, QLD East Coast Net Fishery), in order to improve stock assessments.
2. To determine the appropriate management scale for the target species of northern Australian shark fisheries, by examining the degree to which stocks are shared across northern Australia and with Indonesia.
3. To evaluate the effect of gillnet fishing on northern elasmobranchs, by determining bycatch composition (QLD N3 Net Fishery, QLD East Coast Gillnet Fishery, NT Barramundi Fishery, WA Kimberley Gillnet and Barramundi Fishery).
4. To derive estimates of biological parameters to assess the status of sawfish populations
age structure, reproduction and growth.
5. To re-evaluate the risk assessment of northern elasmobranchs (undertaken in the EA project), based on the new information collected above.

Reducing the Number of Undefined Species in Future Status of Australian Fish Stocks Reports: Phase Two - training in the assessment of data-poor stocks

Seven data-poor assessment method training workshops were run in seven different jurisdictions (Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, and New South Wales). Originally the workshops were to have been undertaken from March to the end of May 2018....

Ralf Yorque Symposium and Ecopath with Ecosim Training Course

This report summarises the outcome of a Ralf Yorque symposium – a small fairly informal series of workshops aimed at providing the big picture thinking space needed to underpin multi-year, multi-project research programs that incrementally piece together the necessary components of a...
