Determination of the biological parameters required for managing the fisheries of four tuskfish species and western yellowfin bream

Data have been collected on the biology of western yellowfin bream and four tuskfish species that are of the type and quality required by managers for developing appropriate plans for conserving the stocks of these five commercial and recreational species. Emphasis was thus placed on determining (1)...

Determining biological characteristics of the champagne crab (Hypothalassia armata) for management purposes

During recent years, commercial trap fisheries have developed for the champagne and crystal crabs in deep waters off the lower west and south coasts of Western Australia. Thus, data on crucial aspects of the biology of these species were required to enable plans to be developed for conserving their...
