Commercial abalone divers take advantage of this clustering behaviour and specifically target aggregations to minimise the time spent searching...
The issue of how best to survey abalone populations to obtain estimates of abundance has been the subject of debate among fisheries biologists for many years. In an attempt to resolve this issue we compared and evaluated abalone abundance estimated by the following methods: Transect survey,...
There are numerous risks to water utilities that may arise in the even of mass fish mortalities, and an essential need to understand the potential impacts of mass carp mortalities on water treatment facilities with different treatment methods and capacities around Australia. Different biomass...
The objectives of this project were to design, develop and deliver a targeted series of extension activities on the mechanisms, methodology and management of low‐water exchange, microbial floc prawn production for Australian prawn farmers. This project produced an impressive number of outputs which...
