Diseases of abalone

In 1985 and 1986 many greenlip abalone Haliotis laevigata near Edithburg in the St Vincent Gulf died. The protozoan parasite, Perkinsus olseni, was suspected to be the cause. We showed that Perkinsus olseni was seasonally abundant in greenlip from the edge of the die-back area. It was also common in...

Assessment of the importance of different near-shore marine habitats to important fishery species in Victoria using standardised survey methods, and in temperate and sub-tropical Australia using stable isotope analysis

The first part of this project was a basic survey of fish use of intertidal habitats such as mangroves, mudflats and saltmarshes, which previously had hardly been considered in temperate Australian coastal waters. Mangroves (Avicennia marina) and mudflats were used by at least 41 species of fish....

Settlement and recruitment of greenlip abalone: their use in predicting stock abundance

The purpose of the grant was to develop a method of measuring density of settlement of the abalone Haliotis laeviqata in relation to spawning stock size and the subsequent catch in the fishery. It was hoped that settlement strength, if it was controlled by oceanographic conditions, would be a useful...
