The aim of this project was to undertake a value chain analysis (VCA) on four Australian prawn fisheries: SGWCPFA, SBPTOA, CRFC, and MBSIA. Following the VCA to define some improvement strategies/projects, work would then be carried out with the individual fisheries to select, implement and evaluate...
Archived DNA was successfully extracted from 30-year-old dried scales collected in 1971 and 1972 from wild Atlantic salmon from the River Philip, Canada.
Genetic variation was assessed at 11 nuclear DNA microsatellite loci (three tetra- and eight di-nucleotide repeats) in two samples from the River...

1. To provide the tool to facilitate the 'build up of an on-going national information base - a store of knowledge', as recommended by the National Recreational Fisheries Working Group
2. Development of a Recreational Fisheries Database would provide a common structure for the collection, processing, storage and retrieval of recreational fisheries data the database would be suitable for use by all fisheries agencies, irrespective of their current hardware and database server facilities (ie. mainframes, mini-computers or PC's) through the incorporation of a custom front end
3. To ensure the database meets the standards set by the Fisheries Statistical Working Group
4. To ensure the database can be integrated with commercial catch and effort databases
SIRFIS is and acronym for Standardised Integrated Recreational Fisheries Information System. The system is designed to provide a user friendly and flexible environment in which to enter, store and retrieve data relating to recreational fisheries. The system also allows storage of comprehensive metadata (information about the data collection such as the methodology used) as well as storing associated documents such as journal articles or management plans produced from the data collected.
