Rebuilding Ecosystem Resilience: assessment of management options to minimise formation of ‘barrens’ habitat by the long-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) in Tasmania

By overgrazing seaweeds and sessile invertebrates, essentially back to bare rock, the advent of the long‐spined sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii in eastern Tasmanian waters poses a significant threat to the integrity, productivity and biodiversity of shallow (<40 m) rocky reef systems and the...

Rock Lobster Enhancement and Aquaculture Subprogram: the feasibility of translocating rock lobsters in Tasmania for increasing yield

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...

Seafood CRC: commercialising translocation of southern rock lobster

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...
