Developing a rapid molecular identification technique to improve egg production based fish biomass assessments

This project aimed to develop a rapid and affordable molecular method to identify fish eggs from plankton samples. The method selected was a multiplex bead array method where species-specific probes are developed and bound to beads which fluoresce when passed through a flow cytometer if bound to the...

Estimating fishing mortality of major target species and species of conservation interest in the Queensland east coast shark fishery

Fishing mortality rates for the major targeted and byproduct species of sharks landed by the Queensland East Coast Inshore Fin Fish Fishery (ECIFFF) have been estimated. The effects of these fishing mortality rates on population persistence for these species have also been modelled with demographic...

National Strategy for the Survival of Released Line Caught Fish: investigating survival of fish released in Australia’s tropical and subtropical line fisheries

Experiments were conducted in northern, central and southern Queensland to investigate the effects of hook design and size on the incidence of hooking injury, and the effects of a number of factors, including barotrauma-treatment method, on post-release survival rates of a suite of key...

Effects of live-fish capture and targeting spawning aggregations on logbook catch rate data in the Great Barrier Reef commercial demersal line fishery

This research was done over two years (1996-98) in the early development of the trade in live reef fish from the GBR to clarify the implications of the switch in market for fishing practices, harvest rates, and effort distribution. The research was based on four sources of information: ...

Real time monitoring of water quality and mechanisation of pond management to boost productivity and increase profit

Maintenance of adequate levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) are critical for the health and production of aquaculture species. In barramundi (Lates calcarifer) pond aquaculture the use of 24 hr/7 day mechanical aeration via paddlewheels represents a significant energy cost to companies,...
