Resource access and resource allocation - guidelines

Issues surrounding access to fisheries resources and their allocation among competing parties go back to early feudal times in England where the Magna Carta was thought to be responsible for establishing the common law principle of the public right to fish in tidal waters, with fish being deemed to...

Comparing conventional ‘social-based’, and alternative output-based, management models for recreational finfish fisheries using Shark Bay pink snapper as a case study

This study has provided for the first time in Australia, an empirical comparison of different management models with a recreational marine finfish fishery. A TAC-based system was introduced for pink snapper in the inner gulfs of Shark Bay for the first time in 2003-2005, to explicitly manage...

SCRC: Seafood CRC Combined Visiting Expert and Research Travel Grant Application: Visit by Dr. Standish K. Allen Jr. from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science to Australia and fluorescent in situ hybridisation training by CRC PhD student Penny Miller prior to Dr Allen’s visit

Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a genetic technique that involves fluorescently labelling chromosomes so that each can be identified individually under a high powered microscope. FISH could be an important tool for detecting the aneuploid frequency in tetraploid oyster populations. This...

Need

In the face of mounting pressure on Australia’s marine and freshwater ecosystems, there is a need for robust scientific information to support the sustainable development and management of our aquatic resources. The ASFB is Australasia’s premier professional association for fish and fisheries researchers. The annual science conference and associated workshop/s makes an important and tangible contribution to skill development of people involved in fish and fisheries research and management, particularly offering students and early career researchers opportunities to present their work, interact with peers and develop collaborative links. The ASFB has a strong commitment to promoting and communicating science, encouraging sustainable management practices, encouraging excellence in fisheries research, and recognizing outstanding contributions of scientists and professionals through various awards and scholarships. In addition the ASFB has recognised the need for increased international engagement in particular via increased active involvement with World Council of Fisheries Societies.
This proposal is seeking sponsorship support for the annual science conference in 2016 (Hobart), 2017 (Western Australia) and 2018 (location to be decided but possibly Victoria) and a series of conference associated awards that support student travel and recognise research excellence. The proposal addresses three people development program goals, namely (i) to encourage knowledge transfer and R&D adoption (ASFB annual science conference) and (ii) to recognise and promote achievements (ASFB student research awards) and (iii) to enhance industry leadership (bringing together a range of people for the annual conference). These activities will encourage participation and exchange of information and provide an opportunity to develop networks and collaborations with outside organisations. In addition this proposal seeks support for one senior ASFB office bearer to attend the 7th World Fisheries Congress (WFC) in Busan as part of an Australia-New Zealand team bidding to host 8th WFC in 2020.

Objectives

1. Provide a forum for researchers, managers and stakeholders to meet to discuss issues relevant to fish and fisheries science and management
2. Support, encourage and recognise achievements of early career researchers
3. Support and encourage student participation at ASFB's annual science conference and key international conferences
4. Increased international profile of ASFB via greater participation in activities of World Fisheries Council and planning for World Fisheries Congress

Summary

The 2019 ASFB conference was held in Canberra from 14 to 17 October, 2019 at the National Library of Australia, ACT. The conference theme of “Communicate to illuminate & inspire" encouraged the 251 delegates (including 62 students) from across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, South Africa, the USA and Fiji to find new ways to share our passion for fishes, and raise their profile among the many people who depend on them for their everyday health and wellbeing.

Summary

The 2018 ASFB conference was held in Melbourne from 11 to 14 October, 2018 at the Rydges on Swanston, Melbourne, Victoria. The conference theme of “Science into Practice, Practice into Science” challenged and engaged delegates to explore the relationships between scientific research, natural resource management and policy formulation. In so doing, the conference celebrated our successes at the science-practice nexus.

Summary

The 2017 ASFB conference was held at the Albany Convention Centre from 30 June to 3 July in Albany, Western Australia. The conference program was a 4-day event, with the theme of ‘Turning points in fish and fisheries’ asking delegates to share all those influential moments or developments, small or large, that changed the way they go about their fisheries research and management. The event also actively engaged the local Albany community via a free public forum and a special session partnership with the local high school students. Another key aspect of the event was the “Nurturing fish scientists” session that brought together key speakers into a discussion forum to share experiences and tips for making the most of the formative years of becoming a professional scientist or manager in our field.

Summary

The 2016 ASFB conference was held as a joint event with the OCS between 4 and 7 September at Wrest Point, Hobart, Tasmania. This was the second time that the ASFB had held its annual conference in conjunction with the OCS. The conference explored the theme of “Intersections in fish and fisheries” as well as exploring issues in gender equity and diversity through special events that highlighted the achievements of women in fish and fisheries via an opening night poster exhibition and full conference forum on gender equity in fish and fisheries on the first full conference day. A broad and comprehensive program of scientific presentations met the diverse range of interests of members of the two science societies, as did a variety of social events.

Summary

The Australian Society for Fish Biology (ASFB) was founded in 1971 and is a professional, independent, non-profit, and non-aligned organisation. The Society’s objectives are to promote research, education and management of fish and fisheries and to provide a forum for the exchange of information. Annual conferences/workshops have been held each year since the Society's inception and provide a forum for scientists, managers, and industry from around Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere to meet and discuss the most recent developments in fish and fisheries science and management.

The annual science conference makes an important and tangible contribution to skill development of people involved in fish and fisheries research and management, particularly offering students and early career researchers opportunities to present their work, interact with peers, develop collaborative links and obtain new ideas. The ASFB has a strong commitment to promoting and communicating science, encouraging sustainable management practices, encouraging excellence in fisheries research, and recognising outstanding contributions of scientists and professionals through various awards and scholarships.
