What could Australia’s total sustainable wild fisheries production be?

This project was a first attempt at estimating the total potential maximum sustainable yield (MSY) from Australia’s commercial fisheries. The project considered only key commercial species and selected by-product species. Estimating equilibrium MSY where there was a formal stock...

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...

Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: molecular genetic tools for the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry – development and application

Archived DNA was successfully extracted from 30-year-old dried scales collected in 1971 and 1972 from wild Atlantic salmon from the River Philip, Canada. Genetic variation was assessed at 11 nuclear DNA microsatellite loci (three tetra- and eight di-nucleotide repeats) in two samples from the River...

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...
