This document is the final report of the project (FRDC 2016-177) ‘Traceability Systems for Wild Caught Lobsters’. It has been prepared by researchers from University of Tasmania.
Background
The project ‘Traceability Systems for Wild Caught Lobster, via Sense-T and Pathways...
Another Seafood CRC project (2006/220) demonstrated that translocation was successful in changing the colour, growth rate and nutritional value of Southern Rocklobster. Based on these results, the Tasmanian rock lobster industry was overwhelmingly supportive of a commercial scale trial. While the...
Translocation involves the shifting of undersize rock lobsters to new areas to increase productivity and/or quality of product. We modelled the translocation of rock lobsters from four original sites to four release sites with a range of growth rates.
Most model scenarios led to increases in...
This project assesses options for streamlining and improving the current electronic reporting process (VicRLTag app) based on an evaluation of the first three years of the Victorian Recreational Rock Lobster Tagging Program.
