A study of the sand crab (Portunus pelagicus) and its exploitation in a sub-tropical multi-sector fishery
Based on logbook records the sand crab commercial pot fishery in Moreton Bay is worth in the vicinity of $2 million wholesale annually. Sand crabs are also taken as an incidental by-catch by otter trawlers and in addition Moreton Bay supports a substantial recreational fishery.
Sand crabs are caught...

A study of seagrass prawn nursery grounds and juvenile prawn populations in north Queensland
Seagrasses are of immense ecological importance in marine ecosystems. Primary production rates for seagrass beds are amongst the highest recorded for marine and terrestrial systems. They have a well documented role as animal habitat, nursery grounds, and as substrate stabilizers.
The proximity of...

A comparison of the fishing characteristics and inefficiencies of different otterboard designs under field conditions
Unlike the majority of engineered equipment, the design of fishing gear is tested ultimately in its ability to take or capture live animals which are able to modify their escape responses. For this reason, increases in the efficiency of operation and optimization of hydrodynamic design are not...

Comparison of the engineering and catching performance of existing prawn trawls in the Spencer Gulf prawn fishery to three new prawn trawl designs
In 1981-82 the cost of fuel and oil in the Northern Prawn Fishery amounted to 25% ($M23.65) of the total costs for a prawn trawler (Hundloe 1984). In the East Coast Prawn Fishery, fuel and oi 1 amounted to 24% ($M9.77) of the costs (BAE 1984). In recent years the dramatic rise In fuel prices has...

The production of larval native fish in larval rearing ponds
Most marine and freshwater fishes depend on plankton for food during a period shortly after birth until they are large enough to switch to other prey. At the Inland Fisheries Research Station, Narrandera (NIFRS), native fish are spawned and the larvae transferred to rearing ponds for approximately...
