The project has developed tools for low cost assessment of the giant crab resource across southern Australia.
Stock assessment and management response is now increasingly based on biomass estimates from this project. Risk of poor management decisions is thus reduced, which...
Understanding relationships between fisher behaviour, their expectations/aspirations, responses to changes in stock status and to management intervention is critical when implementing effective management strategies. This project aims to inform on the practical challenges to achieving the stock...
Tagging is an important tool for estimating key fisheries parameters such as fishing mortality, natural mortality and growth. This project identified the need for future tagging projects to undertake preliminary studies to determine the impact of tagging on both growth and survival, and we developed...
The present study, undertaken by University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies in conjunction with Curtin University’s Centre for Marine Science and Technology, was developed to investigate the potential impact of seismic surveys on economically important fishery...
At present the culture of Atlantic salmon within Australia produces approximately 26,000 t of fish per annum and is a direct employer of over 1100 workers with the majority of farmed fish sold nationally and only 12% exported.
Environmental conditions, such as increased temperatures and high light...
