The purpose of this report is to describe the methods used for tagging redfish and discuss the results achieved by the various segments of the project. In conjunction with the tagging study, data on commercial catches of redfish, fishing effort and catch length frequency were also analysed, and the...

The objective of this project was to develop novel biological tags for penaeid prawns. The impetus for this research was the growing interest in Australia in the potential for stock-enhancement of penaeid fisheries with hatchery reared juveniles. In any stock- enhancement program some...
