By world standards Australia has not developed a significant marine finfish fanning industry. One of the principal constraints has been the absence of suitable technology for Australian species. This technology is currently being developed in a number of research facilities in temperate regions of...

Three acoustic surveys were carried out between 17 and 20 July 1996 on the orange roughy spawning ground off St. Helens, Tasmania. A combination of 22 demersal trawls and ensonification with three frequencies (12, 38 and 120 kHz) was used to assess the species composition around the spawning hill....
The cDNA encoding for G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) was cloned from the brains of Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) and Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK). The SBT GPR54 has an open reading frame of 1134bp encoding a predicted 378 amino acid peptide, containing seven putative transmembrane domains, a 138...
This report details the portion of FRDC 2019-051: Examining the potential impacts of seismic surveys on Octopus and larval stages of Southern Rock Lobster focusing on the impacts of exposure to a full-scale seismic survey on the early life stages of the Southern Rock Lobster (Jasus edwardsii),...
Outcomes achieved to date
The outputs from this second phase of the project have led to the following outcomes:
1. A refined puerulus collector design that:
• Collects puerulus as effectively as traditional diver-serviced inshore collector systems
• Collects puerulus...
