Dependence of commercially import fish on krill as a food source in south-east Tasmania
This final report on the project describes data on stomach contents of major fish predators of the euphausiid Nyctiphanes australis.
The study has concluded that: size and stock of krill and its production can be calculated with some degree of confidence; major predators of adult krill can be...

Identification of compound responsible for "iodoform-like" off-flavours in prawns and other edible crustaceans
A wide variety of off-flavour problems associated with crustaceans have in the past been termed "iodoform-like". Work carried out in this Laboratory showed that the existing off-flavour problems were complex and that the term "iodoform" could only be applied to a proportion of off-flavoured...

Following the successes achieved from the 77/78 F.I.R.T.A. project "Design and development of a new purse seining method and equipment" a further grant of $27,580 was allocated from F.I.R.T.A. to introduce the technique into the pelagic fisheries. As the Mackerel fishery is still in need of development our efforts were aimed at that fishery.
The operation areas that were chosen were Port Phillip Bay and the N.W. coast of Tasmania, the respective ports being Melbourne and Stanley. Further modifications to both the hauling gear and method were necessary in order that the technique could be applied to mackerel fishing.
This report discusses advantages and disadvantages of alternative hauling schemes as tested in the pilchard fishery and will be followed by a report on catch results and details on project expenditure.

This report deals with the operation of the twin sounder installation, referred to in earlier project reports, during 1979. For the period 1978/79 a grant of $2,750 was recommended for building and testing the prototype device. In order to meet construction deadlines on the vessel "Territory Chief" it was necessary to build and install the sounder system by late 1977, as outlined in the last report to the Fishing Industry Research Committee.
That report also dealt with the system performance during the 1978 banana prawn season. The present report covers work done during the 1979 season in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

1. Acquire and install a complete instrument package (a) to make simultaneous measurements of trawl door spread, wing spread & headline height of bottom & pelagic trawls used during survey work
2. to make similar measurements on commercial trawl gear

The objective of this report was to measure trawling gear with the Trawl Instrumentation System (TIS).
The method was similar to that described in Cruise Report no. 76. Each net and door combination was towed at various log speeds, and was maintained at each log speed for about 20 minutes while ground speeds were calculated using radar and/or satellite navigator fixes. When possible, reciprocal trawls were carried out in opposite directions.
No problems were encountered with the TIS and clear readings were obtained during all trawls.
