Where did the Snapper go? Determining factors influencing the recovery of Snapper stocks on the west coast of Australia

This report describes a collaborative project focused on Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) carried out between 2018 and 2021 by researchers from the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Flinders University, University of Adelaide, University of Western...

Passive acoustic techniques to monitor aggregations of sound producing fish species

The need to optimise spawning success and survival of offspring by fishes has resulted in the evolution of a vast array of reproductive strategies, such as spawning aggregations. A spawning aggregation is defined by Domeier and Colin (1997) as, “a group of con-specific fish gathered for the...

Developing a fishery independent estimate of biomass for snapper

This study was undertaken by the South Australia Research and Development Institute (SARDI). Through overcoming considerable technical challenges, this study was the first to successfully develop a relatively non-destructive molecular probe that can reliably identify Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus)...

Spatial scales of exploitation among populations of demersal scalefish: implications for wetline management

West Australian dhufish is endemic to shelf waters of south-western Western Australia (WA). In contrast, snapper (known as "pink snapper" in WA) has a continuous distribution around the southern coastline of mainland Australia and in New Zealand. Dhufish and snapper are the two most important...

Management and monitoring of fish spawning aggregations within the West Coast Bio-region of Western Australia

Many strategies have evolved among fishes to maximise spawning success. One of the most striking of these is aggregation spawning, in which individuals group together, often at predictable times and locations in order to reproduce (cf. a school, which refers to a group of non-spawning fish)....

Informing inter-jurisdictional snapper management in eastern Australia

Snapper has been fished since the early development of the colony around Sydney Harbour in the late 18th century, but it was the arrival of steam power in the 1860’s that enabled fishers to start regularly targeting the abundant schools of snapper occurring in the deep-water fishing grounds...
