QFISH Foresight Project - a strategic planning and futuring project designed to create a strong coordinated commitment by all stakeholders to an agreed vision of the fisheries of the future

The establishment in 1997of the Fishing Industry Development Council (FIDC), a peak fishing advisory body, set the scene for an examination of where Queensland’s fisheries and the fishing industry sectors were heading in the longer term. The FIDC is a high level consultative forum...

Revolutionising fish ageing: Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Age Fish

Results from the current ‘proof of concept’ study indicate that near infrared (NIR) spectra collected from fish otoliths have potential to estimate the age of Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and Snapper (Pagrus auratus), with performance varying between species and locality of capture. A...

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...

Summary

Of the eighteen species of Scomberomorus recognized by Collette and Russo (1979), the migratory behavior of only three species S. cavalla (king mackerel), S. maculatus (Spanish mackerel) and S. commerson (the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel) have been studied by tagging programmes. In these instances the programmes were preceded by studies of age, growth and reproduction which facilitated the analysis of tag return data.

This project was developed to specifically establish the extent of S. commerson migrations in Torres Strait and Gult of Carpentaria waters.

Objectives

1. To provide a manual for restaurant/catering and institutiional cooking to encourage better use and handling of seafood
2. To encourage greater use of low $ value species that would be suitable for institution food service.
3. To provide information on local alternatives to imported fish lines.
4. To provide a comprehensive list of Australian species suitable for use in food service.
5. To provide training and information in seafood handling that is available to all staff.
