Objectives

1. To assist in developing better management models for temperate Australian fisheries by assessing the role of oceanographic and climatic variability on historical changes in SE Australian fish stocks by: (1) developing indices of deepwater productivity and temperature, based on physical and chemical analyses of the growth rings of bamboo coral.
2. Developing time series of relative growth for long-lived fish species on the shelf and slope in the SEF.
3. Developing time series of temperature for the SE Australia shelf off Tasmania and NSW from the growth rings of mollusc shells.
4. Examining statistical relationships among: the above environmental and fishery indices
available records of climate from the Maria Is. station
terrestrial records of regional rainfall, wind, and temperature
apparent recruitment to orange roughy from ageing data
and long-term records of fish landings in the SEF.

Climate change is impacting the oceans around Australia and is expected to increasingly do so into the future (Poloczanska et al 2007; Hobday and Lough 2011). Information on environmental state and biological relationships to the environment, coupled with climate, ocean and management projections, allow qualitative projections of future stock trajectories (e.g. Brown et al 2009). The climate change research to date has focussed on the relationship between known climate drivers like temperature, ocean currents, and the ecosystem. Very little assessment has been made to date at the intersection of climate change and the fisheries legislative framework and other marine planning and environmental legal instruments. Whilst there may be negative impacts, there will also be opportunities for growth in some sectors, which may be prevented by inefficiencies in the supply chain, or by policies that do not enable opportunities to be realized. Thus, assessment across the value chain could allow realisation of the potential benefits and minimise the losses for Australian fisheries as a result of climate change. Importantly, this will allow identification of elements within the supply chain where climate impacts can be reduced, and where policy can be developed to implement reduction measures. Analysis of selected fisheries across their value chain, for social, economic and biological barriers and enablers will inform other fisheries. This project formally includes the stakeholders - fisheries management agencies - and will coordinate activities and findings in concert with the existing regional fishery climate change programs.

Objectives

1. Describe the current state of biology, fishery, policy and management for each case study fishery
2. Develop value chains for each of the selected fisheries, with biological, social and economic input
3. Develop future models of these value chains to identify opportunities and barriers with regard to environmental change, biology, social and economic factors
4. Develop strategies to overcome the barriers and take advantage of the opportunities
