Stock discrimination of pilchards by stable isotope ratio analysis

Project number: 1992-150
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $16,000.00
Principal Investigator: John Edmonds
Organisation: Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) WA
Project start/end date: 22 Mar 1993 - 19 Jul 1996
Contact:
FRDC

Objectives

1. To measure the 18O/16o and 13C/12c ratios in otolith carbonate from a range of sizes of pilchards from four locations at 3 monthly intervals through one year, and thereby to test whether isotope-based locations signatures persist through time and thus demonstrate the presence of separate populations within the pilchard distribution.

Objectives

1. To develop techniques for the assessment of pearl diver efficiency and selectivity in taking pearl oysters.
2. To consider the impact of fishing on the reproductive potential of wild stock pearl oysters.
3. To develop a database on recruitment to commercially fished grounds.
4. To examine geographic variability in pearl oyster growth rates and age at recruitment to the fishery
5. To examine the degree of genetic difference between populations of Pinctada albina
6. To examine the disease status of Broome and Shark Bay stocks of P. albina
