Direct sensing of the size and abundance of target and non-target fauna in Australian fisheries - a national workshop

Increasing environmental concerns and policy shifts toward more holistic fishery ecosystem management have resulted in demand for rapid, non-destructive assessment techniques for sensing both target and non-target species in fisheries and mariculture, and for mapping benthic habitats. Underwater...

Development of sponge (Spongia Spp.) farming as a viable commercial enterprise for remote Aboriginal communities

Sponges have been employed for thousands of years for a wide variety of purposes, most commonly for basic hygiene (bath/toilet sponges), padding (historically under armour and saddles) and in certain manufacturing processes. World production from the wild harvest has, however, declined significantly...
