The Quantitative Training Unit for Fisheries is a project funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation in the Institute of Marine Ecology at the University of Sydney. The Unit was set up in February 1995, initially for a period of three years. During that time, up to 3...
For this very new fishery, those aspects of the species' biology most relevant to its management and continued exploitation are its distributions, abundances and rates of growth. Unfortunately at the start of this project/ we knew none of this information for the NSW stock. As a first step I...

The objectives of the project where...
The aims of this project were to:
Quantify density-dependent effects on wild abalone growth and meat quality
Develop a statistical tool for classification of shell age
Use length-based models to test the adequacy of shell age performance measures
Use length-based models to determine...
