The cDNA encoding for G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) was cloned from the brains of Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) and Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK). The SBT GPR54 has an open reading frame of 1134bp encoding a predicted 378 amino acid peptide, containing seven putative transmembrane domains, a 138...

The nature and extent of demersal finfish resources in deep slope waters (>200m) off the northwest coast of Western Australia are poorly understood. Existing fish trawl, trap and line fishing effort is concentrated in shallower waters (<200m), while trawling in deep slope waters...

The blue grenadier stock is potentially the largest fish stock in the SEF, and following the decline in quota of orange roughy, the need to assess its potential became urgent. The stock has been surveyed using traditional trawl methods and acoustics, but both methods provide only 'snapshot'...
