Effects of live-fish capture and targeting spawning aggregations on logbook catch rate data in the Great Barrier Reef commercial demersal line fishery
This research was done over two years (1996-98) in the early development of the trade in live reef fish from the GBR to clarify the implications of the switch in market for fishing practices, harvest rates, and effort distribution. The research was based on four sources of information: ...

1. To review and synthesise the past decade of Australian research relevant to fisheries habitats. The scope of the review will include : identity of "critical" and "limiting" habitat factors for finfish and shellfish
knowledge of processes linking fisheries with habitats
natural variation in these processes and habitats
and knowledge of major threats to these habitats. The synthesis will aim to document both the existence, and absence, of knowledge of specific processes and patterns of generic application to Australian fisheries and habitats.
2. To use this synthesis to evaluate the suitability, rank and coverage of the six areas of research priority identified in the Cronulla Workshop (Williams and Newton, 1994). These were, in order of priority, 1. Natural Dynamics, 2. Modification of nearshore, estuarine and wetland habitats, 3. Effects of fishing, 4. Change in drainage, 5. Introduction of marine pests, 6. Nutrient inputs.
3. To summarise the results of searches for past and ongoing fisheries habitat research in an annotated bibliography with a spatial reference (lat. / long.) for each study identified. This will be in the form of an ASCII file on computer diskette.

This project was commissioned by FRDC. The task was to review and synthesise the available knowledge on Australian fisheries habitat research and on this basis:
- describe and evaluate the suitability and coverage of the areas of research priority identified at a scientific workshop convened by the FRDC in March 1994, and
- prepare a prospectus of opportunities for the FRDC Ecosystem Protection Program.
The priority issues and impacts reviewed were:
- natural dynamics in fisheries habitats and environmental variability
- changes to drainage and habitat alteration
- nutrient and contaminant inputs
- effects of harvesting on ecosystems and biodiversity
- introduced and translocated pests and diseases.
To obtain this information we conducted a formal literature search and interviews with informants from key organisations in all States and Territories in 1995-96.
The results have been prepared as a detailed scoping review (Volume 2) describing the issues, knowledge gaps and impacts, and proposing more than 60 R&D opportunities. These R&D themes, issues have been summarised as a prospectus here in Volume 1. Sources of citations are provided in Volume 3, and the full bibliography will be linked (HTML) with the scoping review for access on the Internet.

Assess causes and implications of anomalous low lobster catch rates in the shallow water areas near the centre of the Western Rock Lobster fishery
Current and former West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery (WCRLMF) fishers have anecdotally observed a trend of low catch rates since the 1990’s in the near-shore shallow water areas (<8 m) near the centre of the fishery (Dongara-Leeman). Since the atypically low puerulus counts of...

Seafood CRC: quantifying physiological and behavioural responses of cultured abalone to stress events
It is desirable for any primary producer to understand the health and welfare of their stock. This will ultimately enable optimal production and return on investment. The challenge in any aquaculture system is ‘observing’ the physiological and behavioural responses associated with environment,...

Coastal floodplain management in eastern Australia: barriers to fish and invertebrate recruitment in acid sulphate soil catchments
Estuarine habitats, and in particular coastal floodplains and wetlands, provide essential nursery habitat for a large number of fish and prawn species, many of which are commercially and recreationally significant. Human activities on coastal land, such as those associated with grazing and...
