The genesis of this project was in 1992 when we foresaw the arrival of a range of new remote sensing systems, and the opportunity to utilize an increasing archive of sea-surface temperature images, which could be of potential benefit to fisheries operations and management. We sought to develop,...

Estuarine fishes in NSW are exploited by commercial and recreational fishers and are subject to significant pressure from habitat degradation. The NSW commercial estuarine finfish fishery is highly complex as it is based on multi-species and many fishers using variety of methods. Furthermore, there...

In 1994 CSIRO and FRDC started a 5-year ecosystem study of the southeastern Australian continental shelf. Fisheries management in this area is currently based on individual species. Our goal was to identify ecosystem features that could extend the data available to manage the fisheries in this...

The study estimates the benefits and costs of the beam trawl fishery to the Queensland economy in each of four study areas. Benefits are values of catches and costs include catching costs and costs imposed on the recreational and otter trawl fisheries, through by-catch, congestion and habitat...

The relatively high catch of invertebrate species in Western Australia compared to finfish is in sharp contrast to other regions of the world where finfish production usually dominates. This low level of finfish production is primarily due to the Leeuwin Current which brings warm, low nutrient...
