Development of an integrated fisheries management model for King George whiting (Sillaginodes punctata) in South Australia

The King George Whiting Simulator (WhitSim) is a simulation version of the Whiting Estimator (WhitEst) encased inside a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes geographical information systems (GIS). WhitSim provides the ability to simulate various management strategies and parameter scenarios...

Effects of climate change and habitat degradation on Coral Trout

Fishes are at considerable risk from changing environmental conditions because they are, for most part, unable to regulate their body temperature. Exposure to high temperatures may therefore compromise critical biological functions, resulting in reduced performance, fitness and ultimately survival....
