The outcome of this project is the development, at the request of industry, of a proposal to enhance the genetic gains in the industry selective breeding program for AGD resistance through marker assisted selection. The confidence to proceed with such a proposal is brought about by the extensive...
It is now widely recognized that fisheries can have impacts on marine species, habitats and ecosystems beyond the direct impacts of fishing on target species. For example, hundreds of species are regularly caught and discarded in many trawl and longline fisheries and in particular, interactions with...
Close kin mark recapture (CKMR) provides an estimate of absolute abundance that is independent of fishing behaviour. We present a first CKMR estimate of abundance for School Shark and discuss the management implications of our findings.
We found 65 half sibling pairs (HSPs), 3...
