Habitat modification and its influence on prawn and crab fisheries

Experimental trawling in Gulf St Vincent indicated that epifaunal assemblages experienced substantial trawling mortality, which varied depending on sediment characteristics. Locations with strong currents and coarse sediments experienced minimal effects, whereas those with weak currents and...

Spawning and reproductive characteristics of Bight redfish and deepwater flathead in the Great Australian Bight trawl fishery

This project addressed some of the important information gaps identified during assessment workshops for Bight redfish and deepwater flathead. Improved stock assessments, which incorporate the latest biological parameters (size-at-maturity, fecundity and sex ratio), has lead to the setting of...

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...
