Development of the tools for long term management of the giant crab resource: data collection methodology, stock assessment and harvest strategy evaluation

The project has developed tools for low cost assessment of the giant crab resource across southern Australia. Stock assessment and management response is now increasingly based on biomass estimates from this project. Risk of poor management decisions is thus reduced, which...

Field trials to experimentally test if alternative sea lion excluder devices (SLEDs) adequately prevent Australian sea lions from entering rock lobster pots

This project tested the efficacy of two new sea lion excluder devices (SLEDs) in preventing entry of seals into southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii) pots designed by fishers from the South Australian Northern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (NZRLF). Since 1 November 2013, the use of a spike SLED has...

Habitat modification and its influence on prawn and crab fisheries

Experimental trawling in Gulf St Vincent indicated that epifaunal assemblages experienced substantial trawling mortality, which varied depending on sediment characteristics. Locations with strong currents and coarse sediments experienced minimal effects, whereas those with weak currents and...
