Extension of the Status of Key Fish Stocks Reports with Escape with ET
There a lot if Fisheries research information and knowledge that has been generated over the past ten years that is not widely known about. In particular the status of fish stocks reports contains information that is important for both commercial and recreational fisher. This information is important and should be promoted widely.
In particular recreational fishers would benefit from gaining more detailed information about the fish they are catching and the status of the particular stock.

Australia's National Recreational Fishing Conference 2017
Aquafest Australia 2002 – national aquaculture conference and trade exhibition
In these challenging times, there is a real need for industry to understand the issues involved in assessing and managing the risks associated with their ventures. The need for education of all aquaculture industry participants is ongoing. This conference is designed to cater for the education of Australian growers, business partners, processors, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, researchers and regulators. Networking within this mixed group will provide a rare and valuable opportunity for education and co-operation.
The trade display will provide all participants and the public with knowledge of the latest equipment and production technology. Food handling systems and new food products will also be featured.
The ongoing need for product awareness, positioning and promotion will be addressed by the public displays, which will parallel the formal conference and trade display.
Final report
Aquafest 2002 was a highly successful continuation of the tradition of biennial national aquaculture conferences organised and run by the Tasmanian Aquaculture Council (TAC). Aquafest 2002 provided the Australian aquaculture community with the usual unparalleled opportunity to gather en mass to listen, discuss and debate the issues at the top of the Australian aquaculture agenda. This was to be the last of a long tradition of TAC-run events, as it was agreed that FRDC was unlikely to support a continuation of these successful conferences if they were to remain based in Hobart. As such, the baton was passed to a consortium of the TAC, National Aquaculture Council and the World Aquaculture Society to transform “Aquafest” into “Australasian Aquaculture 2004” (and beyond).
