This study sought to explore how different types of fishing
businesses adapted to different types of change within Queensland’s east coast
fisheries. The project team first sought to classify fishing businesses into
‘types’, exploring the industry structure in a new and...
This study found that tunnel nets are technically feasible in this location. In spite of the weather conditions, the fishing gear remained intact and successfully captured significant numbers of marketable fishes. Importantly, SOCI species were released alive and in excellent condition, as were...
Fishes are at considerable risk from changing environmental conditions because they are, for most part, unable to regulate their body temperature. Exposure to high temperatures may therefore compromise critical biological functions, resulting in reduced performance, fitness and ultimately survival....
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...
