1. To map the distribution of SRL larvae in southern Australia from existing plankton samples.
2. To hindcast interannual depth-dependent ocean circulation and hydrography during the period of larval availability.
3. To determine possible larval transport mechanisms and their implications for reproductive connectivity of management zones in the SRL fishery.
4. To examine the relationship between offshore ocean climate, distribution of phyllosoma and settlement of puerulus off eastern Tasmania (1992-1994 case study)
The fishery for red-legged banana prawns in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf (JBG) developed in the early 1980s. Since then, fishing effort has varied from 700 to 2600 boat-days per year and catches range from 200 to 1000 tonnes per year. Initially the JBG fishery developed as an alternative to fishing in...
In order to provide for future growth of the Australian prawn aquaculture industry, there is a need to take a longer-term strategic view and develop production technology for alternative species that can support an export market but do not have the intense overseas competition of the current major...
Based on the results of a comprehensive literature review and the collective expertise of the project team, we developed two alternative approaches with which to evaluate trade-offs between triple bottom line objectives and stakeholder preferences: a semi-quantitative multi-criteria decision...
