The aims of this project were to:
Determine the efficacy of translocation of mature abalone for stock rebuilding
Identify key ecological processes that limit stock recovery
Quantify the scale of 'spillover' from translocated populations
Cost-benefit analysis of rehabilitated...
This project was an industry-led and highly collaborative project to develop a rigorous and cost-effective electronic platform to gather abalone divers’ observations of abalone stocks in situ that could be useful to inform the management of Australian abalone fisheries.
