Spawning biomass of Jack Mackerel (Trachurus declivis) in the East sub-area of the Small Pelagic Fishery during summer 2019

Estimates of spawning biomass obtained using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) are the primary biological performance indicator for quota species in the Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF). The objective of this study was to conduct ichthyoplankton and adult trawl surveys that underpin the DEPM in the...

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...

Determining biological characteristics of the champagne crab (Hypothalassia armata) for management purposes

During recent years, commercial trap fisheries have developed for the champagne and crystal crabs in deep waters off the lower west and south coasts of Western Australia. Thus, data on crucial aspects of the biology of these species were required to enable plans to be developed for conserving their...

A collaborative investigation on the usage and stock assessment of bait fishes in southern and eastern Australian waters, with special reference to pilchards (Sardinops sagax neopilchardus)

This project was initiated in response to a rapid increase in the demand for pilchards and other baitfish species and the subsequent expansion of purse-seine fisheries throughout southeastern Australia. During the course of the proj ect, the need for research on pilchard stocks was further increased...

The fishery for red spot king prawns (Penaeus longistylus) off the central Queensland coast

The fishery for king prawns which occurs between 18°S and 21°S has been investigated over a three year period. The fishery takes place predominantly during winter months. Availability of alternative target stocks as well as recruitment timing is responsible for the fishery's timing. Annual...

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...
