Developing tagging models and validating assumptions for estimating key fishery assessment parameters in rock lobster fisheries

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...

Assessment of broad-scale exploitation rates and biomass estimates for the Tasmanian southern rock lobster fishery

Exploitation rate is an important fishery assessment parameter linking catch to legal-sized biomass, the portion of the stock available for harvest. Relative change in legal-sized biomass is a crucial performance indicator for the fishery as it measures the success of management...

Development of the tools for long term management of the giant crab resource: data collection methodology, stock assessment and harvest strategy evaluation

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...
