Improved performance of marron using genetic and pond management strategies

Marron (Cherax tenuimanus) are the highest valued freshwater crayfish farmed in Australia. This project addressed the need to increase the profitability of commercial marron farms by improving growth rates and pond management strategies. The project evaluated progeny produced from wild populations...

Summary

The Western Australian Pearling Industry is totally reliant on
quotas of wild stock silver- or goldlip pearl oysters,
Pinctada maxima. Any sustainable expansion of the Industry is
unlikely to occur unless hatchery-propagated oysters become
available as an alternative source to wild stock. This
project sought to establish the broodstock, larval and nursery
phases of culture of P. maxima for the purpose of mass
production of spat.

Quantification of changes in recreational catch and effort on inner Shark Bay snapper species following implementation of responsive management measures

A 12-month creel survey of recreational boat-based fishing in Shark Bay, Western Australia was conducted between May 2001 and April 2002 to estimate the catch of pink snapper. During the survey 431 boat crews were interviewed at public boat ramps of which 414 had been fishing. The information...

Aquatic Animal Health and Biosecurity Subprogram: Perkinsus olseni in abalone - development of fit-for-purpose tools to support its management

The project was able to successfully propagate a new P. olseni isolate from Queensland and successfully cultured the isolates from Spain, Japan, New Zealand, and South Australia as well as P. chesapeaki, which was used as a negative control. We were unable to culture the Western Australian (WA)...
