SCRC: PhD 5.04 Assessing the costs and benefits of changing fishing practices in the southern rock lobster fishery (Dr Bridget Green; Student Tim Emery)

The specific aim of this thesis was to assess the effectiveness of individual transferable quota (ITQ) systems of management in meeting economic, ecological and social objective(s) through quantitatively analysing changing fishing practices and behaviour of fishers in the Tasmanian Southern...

Need

Managers need to be provided with information that will ensure that fishing mortalities remain below the appropriate biological reference points for the key species.

To provide this information, knowledge is required of the relationship between fishing effort and fishing mortality. An experimental approach which provides a clearly measurable level of fishing mortality will achieve this. The fish in the 100-200m depth zone are schooling species and commercial effort will naturally be targeted on schools, so commercial catch rates cannot be used for the abundance measures required to calculate fishing mortality. There is a need therefore for survey fishing before and after the period of intense commercial fishing and for research personnel to oversee the survey fishing, gather samples and information on the survey cruises, process these at the laboratory and analyse the results. Monitoring of the fishing effort through research logbooks during the commercial fishing period is also required.

Objectives

1. To determine the relationship between fishing effort and fishing mortality for the key outer-shelf demersal scalefish species (principally Pristipomoides multidens) in the Pilbara fishery.
2. To document the distribution and abundance of adults and juveniles of major finfish species in the 100 to 200m depth zone off the Pilbara coast.
3. To provide industry and management with a range of options for sustainable exploitation of the deeper water fish resources of the Pilbara.

FRDC-DCCEE: preparing fisheries for climate change: identifying adaptation options for four key fisheries in South Eastern Australia

Over the next century, the marine ecosystems of south-eastern Australia are expected to exhibit some of the largest climate-driven changes in the Southern Hemisphere. The effects of these changes on communities and businesses will depend, in part, on how well fishing industries and resource managers...

Improving early detection surveillance and emergency disease response to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) using a hydrodynamic model for dispersion of OsHV-1

Rapid predictive capability of viral spread through water during an aquatic disease outbreak is an epidemiologist’s dream, and up until now has not been achievable. A biophysical particle tracking model for Ostreid herpesvirus 1 microvariant (OsHV-1) that causes POMS was developed to determine...
