Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: development of a national translocation policy using abalone and prawns as templates for other aquatic species

One of the research strategies of the Abalone subprogram is to increase and apply knowledge of genetics to improve the performance of farmed stock. To that end there are 4 funded FRDC programs on abalone genetics (2000/201; 2000/202; 2001/254; 2002/202). Over the past four years, through FRDC...

National Strategy for the Survival of Released Line Caught Fish: maximising post-release survival of line caught flathead taken in sheltered coastal waters

The National Survey of Recreational Fishing has estimated that about 13.5 million flathead (various species) were caught by recreational fishers in Australia during 2000/01 and that of this total, almost 45% (6.0 million fish) were released or discarded (Lyle et al. 2003). The retained component of...
