A preliminary assessment of the rock lobster fishery in New South Wales

The objectives of this study were to determine whether catch rates of rock lobsters in the commercial fishery off New South Wales were declining, the size and species composition of catches from the commercial fishery and to ascertain the smallest length at which 50% of female eastern rock lobsters,...

Assessment of the crab fisheries in New South Wales [also referred to as the Spanner Crab Project].

For this very new fishery, those aspects of the species' biology most relevant to its management and continued exploitation are its distributions, abundances and rates of growth. Unfortunately at the start of this project/ we knew none of this information for the NSW stock. As a first step I...

Future oysters CRC-P: New Technologies to Improve Sydney Rock Oyster Breeding and Production

Hatchery production of Sydney Rock Oysters (SROs, Saccostrea glomerata) is a costly and high risk activity for the breeding program and industry exacerbated by factors such as: reliance on hatchery conditioning, low fertilisation success using strip-spawned gametes, extended larval rearing period...

Studies of the growth and mortality of school prawns

Information about growth and mortality are important in the management of resources because these provide us with an understanding about the productivity of the target population. Estimates are used to assess the impact of fishing upon the target population and the effectiveness of various scenarios...

Objectives

1. Prepare a Strategic Research and Development Plan for the NSW Oyster Industry for the next 5 years.
2. Review current and past research in the industry in NSW and elsewhere.
3. Evaluate likely obstacles and limitations to the commercial expansion of the NSW Oyster Industry and the ability for R&D to address these limitations.
4. Develop a portfolio of strategic key R&D areas that need to be addressed.
5. Provide a prioritisation of research program themes in consultation with industry to address these obstacles and limitations.

Summary

The NSW oyster industry is one of the states oldest and most valuable fishery, with a farm gate value of more than $27 million in 1994/ 5. It has an impressive history covering more than a hundred years of farming the native Sydney rock oyster Saccostrea commercialis but has experienced a decline since its record year of 1976 / 7 (Chapter 2). Nevertheless the N SW industry produced more than 60% of the country's oyster output in 1994/5.

A strategic R & D plan covering six key project areas has been produced to help transform the NSW oyster industry into a united, forward looking industry, producing a range of quality assured oysters and other products, marketing in a more collaborative and profitable manner.
