Effects of seasonal and interannual variability of the ocean environment on recruitment to the fisheries of Western Australia

The relatively high catch of invertebrate species in Western Australia compared to finfish is in sharp contrast to other regions of the world where finfish production usually dominates. This low level of finfish production is primarily due to the Leeuwin Current which brings warm, low nutrient...

Evaluating the costs and benefits of research on stock structure for management of the orange roughy fishery

This report describes a procedure for objectively comparing the likely returns from research programs, particularly those designed for fisheries management purposes. This procedure requires that the management objectives for the fishery are well defined, and that the research is directed at...

Quantitative interpretation of fine-scale SBT catch per unit effort for south east Australia

An analysis of spatial and temporal variations in catch rates of Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) in relation to environmental factors was conducted for the region south of Tasmania up to 1he southern half of New South Wales. Substantial temporal and spatial variations were evident in...

Mesoscale oceanographic data analysis and data assimilative modelling with application to Western Australian fisheries

The more that is understood about the factors controlling the abundance of an exploited fish stock, the more optimally it can be harvested for sustainable yield and profit. It has been known for some time that catches of western rock lobster are closely related to the number of larvae surviving...

Use of archival tags for studying the movement and swimming behaviour of school sharks

There has been serious concern over the status of the school shark fishery for many years, and it has been the subject of numerous stock assessments (Punt & Walker 1998). It is a well researched species: Olsen (1954) showed that school shark can make extensive migrations, and that females moved...
