Need

Energy is currently a major issue for the Fishing Industry and an area in which the FRDC has focused in the past five years. FRDC has developed a good international network to share research outcomes the issue of energy, fuel and improving boat efficiency.

On 20 May 2010, the first major international conference on energy and fishing will be held in Spain. E-Fishing 2010 is the first of a series of biannual conferences devoted to the study of energy efficiency in the fishing world. This symposium aims to be a forum where experts will present the latest advances in research and development aimed at improving the energy efficiency of fishing vessels and systems.

It is important that the informaiton form this conference is extended and made available for the fishing industry in Australia.

Objectives

1. Extension of research presented at the E-fishing conference on "energy" related issues relevant to the fishing industry

Summary

Food is a primary factor affecting the growth and survival of juvenile western rock lobsters in nursery areas. Determining how far juveniles travel when searching for food is essential in determining the size of area foraged and how much food is potentially available to them. Knowledge of foraging patterns and feeding activity of juvenile western rock lobsters is, therefore, required to understand their ecology.

Studies on natural foraging activity of rock lobsters are difficult. The animals feed at night and it is only possible for divers to observe a few animals. In addition, the natural behavior of rock lobsters is affected by the presence of divers. The lobsters hide from the divers in the seagrass beds instead of foraging.

Phillips et al. (1984) developed a method of remotely tracking juvenile western rock lobsters using electromagnetic tags. Natural foraging distances and activity can be determined by this method, enabling researchers to monitor the position of the tagged lobsters throughout the night.
