Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: crayfish plague disease strategy manual

Crayfish plague is a serious disease of freshwater crayfish in Europe. The infectious agent, Aphanomyces astaci, is an Oomycete that produces hyphae and zoospores and is similar to a fungus. Studies have shown that Australian freshwater crayfish are susceptible to the disease but the disease has...

NCCP: Population dynamics and Carp biomass estimates

This study was undertaken by the Arthur Rylah Institute for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. Carp (Cyprinus carpio) is Australia’s most invasive pest fish. To facilitate more effective management, the Australian Government is considering release of a Carp herpesvirus...

Growth, mortality, movements and nursery habitats of red-legged banana prawns (Penaeus indicus) in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf

This project has contributed to the ecologically sustainable management of the Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF) by providing information on the status of red-legged banana prawn stocks and the nursery habitats that support this fishery. It has achieved these outcomes by firstly completing detailed...

Assessment of the Victorian rock lobster fishery

The southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsit) is fished commercially in south-eastern Australia and New Zealand. The Victorian annual catch is currently 458 tonnes with a landed value of $14.5 million representing 10.6% of total rock lobster landings in south east Australia (ABARE 1997). Over eighty...

Indices of recruitment and effective spawning for tiger prawns stocks in the Northern Prawn Fishery

In the mid to late 1980s NORMAC began to suspect that tiger prawn spawning stocks in the NPF may have been reduced by fishing to levels that reduced recruitment to the fishery. A vessel buy-back scheme and other effort reductions were introduced to reverse this trend but, by the mid-1990s, the...

Investigation of methods to age abalone

Management of the valuable Australian abalone fishery is difficult because catch/effort information for abalone does not provide warnings of declining stocks. In fact abalone fisheries in Alaska, California and Mexico have collapsed or declined dramatically, with little warning. Management must rely...

Climate driven shifts in benthic habitat composition as a potential demographic bottleneck for Western Rocklobster: understanding the role of recruitment habitats to better predict the under-size lobster population for fishery sustainability

The West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery (WCRLMF) is one of the most valuable and sustainable single-species fisheries in Australia. WCRLMF is managed, in part, using larval (puerulus) settlement indices obtained from artificial seagrass stations that are continuously monitored at eight locations...

Spawning biomass of Jack Mackerel (Trachurus declivis) in the East sub-area of the Small Pelagic Fishery during summer 2019

Estimates of spawning biomass obtained using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) are the primary biological performance indicator for quota species in the Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF). The objective of this study was to conduct ichthyoplankton and adult trawl surveys that underpin the DEPM in the...
