Objectives

1. To determine the number and locations of spawning grounds for the major commercial finfish species in temperate Australian waters.
2. To examine patterns of larval drift for indications of the distribution and number of nursery grounds for these species.

4. To use these data to infer the stock structure of temperate Australian finfishes.
