Informing inter-jurisdictional snapper management in eastern Australia

This project was originally conceived during the Queensland snapper stock assessment in 2007-2008. During that assessment it became apparent how important a unified east coast approach was, not just from a scientific standpoint, but also from a management and policy perspective and from a...

Ralf Yorque Symposium and Ecopath with Ecosim Training Course

Significant effort of the past 50 years has seen the tools available for established, often high value, fisheries become increasingly robust and transparent – with the combination of Ecological Risk Assessments of the Effects of Fishing (Hobday et al 2011), tiered Harvest Strategies (Smith et al...

Determining the susceptibility of Australian Penaeus monodon and Penaeus merguiensis to newly identified enzootic (YHV7) and exotic (YHV8 and YHV10) Yellow head virus (YHV) genotypes

Yellow head virus genotype 1 (YHV1) emerged in the early 1990s as the cause of mass mortalities of giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) in Thailand. In Thailand YHV continues to cause production losses and has become established as a pathogen in Pacific white prawn (P. vannamei). YHV1 has...

Camden Haven is a large, wave dominated barrier estuary on the New South Wales North Coast, and contains two main shallow lake areas – Queens Lake and Watson Taylor Lake. Queens Lake is connected to the lower main arm of the estuary by a 3 km channel called Stingray Creek, and Watson-Taylor Lake is...

Estimating the impacts of management changes on bycatch reduction and sustainability of high-risk bycatch species in the Queensland East Coast Otter Trawl Fishery

It has been estimated that tropical prawn trawl fisheries generate between 27-35% of bycatch globally. This is due to the relatively small size of the target species, requiring the use of small mesh sizes which results in an inherently non-selective method of capture. Previous research in Queensland...

Refining a Nordmøre grid to minimise the incidental catch of cuttlefish and crabs in the Spencer Gulf Prawn Fishery

The Spencer Gulf Prawn Fishery (SGPF) has been recognised by the FAO as one of the best-managed trawl fisheries in the world (Gillett, 2008). It was also the first prawn fishery in the South-Pacific to be accredited by the MSC for its ecologically sustainable fishing practices. The SGPF targets a...

Understanding the movement, behaviour and post-release survival rates of Swordfish to sustainably develop a new large pelagic game fishery off the coast of Tasmania – a pilot study

A targeted daytime recreational fishery for Swordfish established rapidly on the east coast of Tasmania during Autumn 2014. Researchers from IMAS seized an opportunity for an early intersection of research with the fishery. This co-engagement has been particularly well received amongst the...

Understanding recruitment variation (including the collapse) of Saucer Scallop stocks in Western Australia and assessing the feasibility of assisted recovery measures for improved management in a changing environment

The saucer scallop Amusium balloti is fished commercially in four main regions of Western Australia with the highest production historically from the two key fisheries, Shark Bay and the Abrolhos islands. The annual value of these two fisheries is between $5 and $20 million and these two industries...
