Workshop on spawning stock-recruitment relationships (SRRs) in Australian crustacean fisheries

The relationship between spawning stock size and the size of the subsequent recruitment is fundamental to fisheries science. Without a working knowledge of the relationship it is not possible to know how heavily a spawning stock can be fished before recruitment levels begin to decline. Although...

Population dynamics and management of spanner crabs in southern Queensland

Spanner crabs (Ranina ranina) represent a valuable resource to southern Queensland and northern NSW. The fishery became established in the late 1970s, and as a result of an almost exponential increase in fishing effort between 1992 and 1995 an output-controlled limited entry management arrangement...

Live transport of crustaceans in air - prolonging the survival of crabs

We studied the live transport of crustaceans in air, using the spanner crab Ranina ranina as an example, and developed guidelines for handling live spanner crabs which we presented to an industry workshop. Our findings were also of general relevance to the live shipment of other oceanic crab...
