Water treatment to control influent water biosecurity risk on Australian prawn farms. Effectiveness and impacts on production ponds.

This project assessed the performance of mechanical filtration as a means by which Australian prawn farmers could lower the risk of disease agent transfer into farms by selective removal of disease hosts and other vectors naturally present in farm source water. The project sought to provide...

Publication of "Proceedings from the 2nd Australasian Scallop Workshop"

The First Australasian Scallop Workshop was held in Taroona, Tasmania in July 1988 and was attended by 51 participants from Australia, New Zealand and Japan. It proved to be a very valuable forum for exchange of ideas on scallop biology, management and culture. The organisers of that workshop, Mike...

A study of seagrass prawn nursery grounds and juvenile prawn populations in north Queensland

Seagrasses are of immense ecological importance in marine ecosystems. Primary production rates for seagrass beds are amongst the highest recorded for marine and terrestrial systems. They have a well documented role as animal habitat, nursery grounds, and as substrate stabilizers. The proximity of...

A comparison of the fishing characteristics and inefficiencies of different otterboard designs under field conditions

Unlike the majority of engineered equipment, the design of fishing gear is tested ultimately in its ability to take or capture live animals which are able to modify their escape responses. For this reason, increases in the efficiency of operation and optimization of hydrodynamic design are not...

Factors affecting the toxicity of the dinoflagellate, Gambierdiscus toxicus, and the development of ciguatera outbreaks

This project confirmed that the benthic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus is an origin of putative ciguatoxin precursors called gambiertoxins. It was recently found in French Polynesia that gambiertoxins could be extracted from biodetritus containing wild G. toxicus and that gambiertoxins were...

The effect of barramundi Nodavirus on important freshwater fishes

This project has confirmed the knowledge that management of barramundi translocations outside their natural range requires fisheries authorities take into account the risk that barramundi nodavirus may lethally infect native freshwater fishes. The project has shown barramundi nodavirus can...

Freshwater fish attracting structures (FAS): Evaluating a new tool to improve fishing quality and access to fisheries resources in Australian impoundments

This document has been compiled from various sources and, to the authors’ knowledge, represents the best advice currently available regarding the use of fish attracting structures to improve recreational angling in Australian impoundments. Although the principles outlined in this document may...
