Healthcheck Phase 2
Sustainability is a broad and complex concept, and consideration of the diverse suite of factors involved in social, economic, ecological and governance arrangements is needed to create truly sustainable food production industries. Australian fisheries encompasses a much broader range of issues than...

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...

Demand Conditions and Dynamics in the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery: Empirical Investigation
This final report, a collaboration between economists from CSIRO, CQU and ABARES, is the first detailed analysis of the interrelationship between fish prices on the Sydney and Melbourne fish markets. In addition, the study derived empirical estimates of the own and cross-price flexibilities for the...

Development of software for use in multi-frequency acoustic biomass assessments and ecological studies
The development of the ECHO software has enabled the collection and analysis of large multifrequency acoustic data sets. The data can now be processed in a timely manner (via overlays) to quality assure and interpret underlying acoustic characteristics in the signals. From these analyses we can...

The SEF fishing industry, particularly the trawl sector, has a need to be proactive in the face of growing community attention to trawling based on its potential to modify benthic habitat and threaten biodiversity values. This need is focussed by the timetable for the regional marine planning process (the end of 2001 for the SEF region), as well as to meet provisions under Schedule 4 of the Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Experts and Imports) Act and the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Without solid information or a developed industry position regarding the spatial management of its fishing grounds, the fishing industry will have minimal ability to engage in this process as active partners.
The SEF fishing industry holds strong beliefs about the importance of particular seabed habitats for is continued profitability (Prince, Baelde and Wright FRDC 71/114) and has a need to develop a mature relationship with the National Ocean's Office and Environment Australia. This relationship and the information formailsed by this project will enable the industry to have input in the near-term to the Regional Marine Planning process and to certify their seafood products for expertation under the Wildlife Protection Act.
The outcomes of this project will have direct relevance t:
advancing AFMA's legislated aims of sustaining biological production and economic efficiency
seeking certification for inclusion on Schedule 4 of the Wildlife protection Act
attaining ESD accreditation in the longer term
responding to the near term needs of participating in the process of developing Environment Australia's South East Regional Marine Plan.
The finely detailed and annotated maps to be generated by this project will provide a template on which the distribution of fishing effort and catches can be plotted, and will form the basis of industry proposals to introduce a spatial management to their fishery. Without these maps and the process supported by this project there is a risk that uninformed spatial management of fishing effort would contribute neither to conservation goals nor the fishing industry and could be to the detriment of both. Moreover, inappropriate spatial management would be counter-productive to ESD planning for the SEF.
1. Proactively and cooperativley develop industry policy in response to the requirements of the Wildlife Protection Act (especially principle 2). 1.1 Acquire, collate and map industry (trawl and non-trawl) information on the spatial extent use of fishing grounds in the SEF.1.2 Evaluate and summarise this information in relation to the Wildlife Protection Act (especially principle 2) guidelines.
2. Integrate fishing industry knowledge and scientific data to give quality assured information on linkages between seabed habitats, biodiversity and fishery production for informed sustainable management of the SEF and to build broad understanding.2.1 Develop deployment equipment to provide an ongoing capacity to photographically monitor habitats from industry vessels.2.2 Validate and complement industry information gathered for objective 1 by ground-truth sampling from industry vessels.2.3 Consolidate all the information from this project, together with existing ecological and physical (geographical, topographical and hydrological) data, and provide a draft paper for industry that addresses relevant elements (primarily Principle 2 of the Wildlife Protection Act guidelines).2.4 Support, through a series of workshops, the development by industry of spatial management options to protect biodiversity and fishery production in the SEF based on the information provided through this project.2.5 Develop a Public Relations strategy for the project and its outcomes, including media release kits/releases and supporting video/photographic images, collaboratively between SETFIA, SENTA and the project team.
