Investigation of the present status and potential yield of "whitebait" stocks in Tasmanian rivers

At the time this report was written, there had not been any biological study of the whitebait fishery since the 1940's. That study concentrated on the species most abundant at that time (Lovettia sealii). However, with the decline in the fishery being essentially due to a decrease in abundance of...

Abalone population dynamics studies and reef area estimation

Most Australian abalone fisheries are fully exploited and a comparison of the total catch of blacklip abalone, Haliotis ruber, in the three south-eastern states indicates a decline in population size from south to north. The catch distribution from New South Wales parallels that trend. This decline...

Understanding the movement, behaviour and post-release survival rates of Swordfish to sustainably develop a new large pelagic game fishery off the coast of Tasmania – a pilot study

While recreational fishers in Australia have targeted Swordfish in the past, both at night-time with shallow set baits and during the day with deep-set baits, success had been limited with only a few Swordfish reported landed. In 2014, adjacent to the coast of Tasmania an individual fisher had...
