Production of antibodies against toxins involved in ciguatera fish poisoning
Sufficient pure ciguatoxin (0.5 mg of CTX-1) has been isolated from moray eel viscera to allow the immunisation of mice and screening of antibodies to ciguatoxin. It is determined that in vivo immunisation techniques were most likely to yield antibodies using related toxins as models of ciguatoxin....

Factors affecting the toxicity of the dinoflagellate, Gambierdiscus toxicus, and the development of ciguatera outbreaks
This project confirmed that the benthic dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus is an origin of putative ciguatoxin precursors called gambiertoxins. It was recently found in French Polynesia that gambiertoxins could be extracted from biodetritus containing wild G. toxicus and that gambiertoxins were...

Investigation of mushiness in crabs
The problem of deterioration of the crab flesh, commonly called 'mushiness', has been widely known, and mostly ignored, for many years. When mushiness occurs, the normally firm and resilient crab muscle loses integrity and becomes soft. A mushy crab is externally indistinguishable from one with firm...

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...

The fishery for red spot king prawns (Penaeus longistylus) off the central Queensland coast
The fishery for king prawns which occurs between 18°S and 21°S has been investigated over a three year period. The fishery takes place predominantly during winter months. Availability of alternative target stocks as well as recruitment timing is responsible for the fishery's timing.
Annual...
