Development of a DNA based aging technique for use in fisheries assessments

Knowledge of the age structure of fisheries populations and individual growth rates is crucial to accurate population modelling, which is an integral component of the management cycle. For example, age data for crustaceans would decrease the degree of uncertainty in stock assessment models and...

A novel method for obtaining age compositions from ancillary biological data and it’s potential for cost reductions in stock assessments

This project proposal is to implement a new method for determining the age composition using samples of length frequency. This method allows for a significant reduction in the need for annual ageing of samples and makes collected ageing data more valuable. Direct ageing techniques using...

Fishery-independent estimate of spawning biomass of Southern Bluefin Tuna through identification of close-kin using genetic markers

The SBT assessment is subject to a number of uncertainties which complicate management and hence the likelihood of stock rebuilding. The current assessment indicates that spawning stock is heavily depleted relative to its unexploited state. The level of depletion is uncertain; for example, CCSBT SC9...
