A biological study of east coast tunas and billfishes with particular emphasis on yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

The East Coast Tunas and Billfishes Research Program was funded by the Fishing Industry Research Trust Account (FIRTA F86/127) from July 1986 to June 1988. The objectives of the program were to identify the stock(s) exploited by the east coast tuna and billfish fisheries, examine the structure of...

The development of an index for the prediction of catches of blacklip and greenlip abalone, and a technique for ageing these species

The scientific literature has generally accepted that abalone populations are characterised by low levels of settlement and recruitment (Tegner in press), that mortality is relatively low (Doi et al. 1977; Beinssen and Powell 1979; Sainsbury 1982; Shepherd et al. 1982; Fournier and Breen 1983) and...

Investigation of the present status and potential yield of "whitebait" stocks in Tasmanian rivers

At the time this report was written, there had not been any biological study of the whitebait fishery since the 1940's. That study concentrated on the species most abundant at that time (Lovettia sealii). However, with the decline in the fishery being essentially due to a decrease in abundance 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...

Feasibility assessment of commercial production of two important shellfish (abalone and scallops)

This report concludes investigations into the economic and biological viability of scallop culture in Tasmania. Research into spat settlement and ongrowing methods has continued from the 1970's and the current TFDA and FIRTA funded programmes (1980-84) have successfully cultured scallops to legal,...

Development of a national sector-specific biosecurity plan guideline and template for the sea-cage finfish (non-salmonid) industry of Australia.

In this project, we developed guidelines to provide the Australian sea-cage finfish (non-salmonid) industry with the tools and templates to create an auditable farm biosecurity plan. Consideration was given to the current farming of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi), southern bluefin tuna...
