Pilot project for a national database on fisheries R&D capacity

The objective of the project, to produce a comprehensive database of research providers in Western Australia, was achieved. Each of the major research institutions has entries, complete with Units within those institutions and the people that make up those Units. This system parallels the FRDC...

Development of non-damaging trapping apparatus for the spanner crab (Ranona ranina) fishery

Both male and female spanner crabs (Ranina ranina) readily moved up inclined ramps made from numerous materials and there were no significant size related behavioral differences. This suggested that Ranina ranina could be trapped in "entrance type" non­-entangling apparatus. A range of top and side...

Objectives

1. Assess seasonal wind, tidal & density-driven current regimes in the Gulf of Carpentaria
from the computed net water flows,
2. better understand larval prawn dispersal mechanisms from the off-shore spawning grounds to the near-shore & estuarine nursery grounds

Summary

The prawn fishing industry in the Gulf of Carpentaria is worth $100 million/year and a large proportion of this is from catches of banana prawns. In one stage of their complex life history, banana prawn larvae are carried by ocean currents from their spawning grounds to the estuarine nursery areas.

The aim of this project was to define the currents that carry the larvae so that the life history can be more fully understood and various biological hypothesis concerning the banana prawn and in particular the behaviour of larvae can be fully tested. To achieve these goals a mixture of field work and theoretical modelling and cooperation between physical oceanographers and fisheries biologists was required.
