Objectives

1. To examine the distribution of eggs and larvae of pilchards along the south coast of WA during winter when catches in King George Sound are greatest
2. To compare the distribution of eggs with acoustic recordings of adult fish made concurrently
3. To use the survey results on the distribution of pilchards to refine and further validate the estimates of stock size derived from a spatial model which has been developed to provide information on the pilchard fishery

Snapper Science Program: Theme 1 - Biology and Ecology

1. Quantify the abundance of age 0+ Snapper in northern Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent to provide relative estimates of recruitment for 2024, 2025, and 2026. Examine the otoliths of these fish to improve the understanding of early life history processes.
