An ecological approach to re-establishing Australian freshwater cod populations: an application to trout cod in the Murrumbidgee catchment

This project consisted of two field experiments primarily designed to determine if dispersal of post-juvenile trout cod, Maccullochella macquariensis, is responsible for the apparent lack of success following stocking of this species into numerous riverine sites. The study also served to trial the...

Risk assessment for the NSW seafood industry

Seafood, unlike most other foods, can pose serious food poisoning risks simply as a result of their biology and/or the way in which they are consumed. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that animals posing a risk do not show any signs that can easily distinguish them from...

Developing and road testing a novel and robust method for trading off ecological interventions for the recovery of native fish communities

The Murray-Darling Basin Plan water recovery objectives through the Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) show outstanding potential to be accelerated through complementary measures. A complementary measures program encompasses a range of non-flow related investments to achieve ecological...

Putting potential environmental risk of Australia's trawl fisheries in landscape perspective: exposure of seabed assemblages to trawling, and inclusion in closures and reserves

This project implemented the first national spatial approach to quantifying the exposure of mapped seabed assemblages to the footprints of all demersal trawl fisheries that operate on the mainland continental shelf and slope of Australia, as well as their spatial protection in areas permanently...

Evaluating the potential use of change-in-ratio and index removal techniques for determining harvest rates and efficiency increases in the Western Rock Lobster Fishery

This project developed and explored methodology intended to enable the production of more reliable estimates of fishing efficiency increases and harvest rate, such that these estimates might be available for use by fisheries scientists, thereby improving the quality of the management decisions...

Maximise yield or minimise risk in the Blacklip Abalone fishery: using biological data to direct harvest strategies

The primary goal of this research was to identify attributes of the seasonal biology of Blacklip Abalone (Haliotis rubra; hereafter referred to as Blacklip) that may be beneficial for optimising fishing strategies. The optimum months to harvest Blacklip to maximise yield were identified using a...
