Modelling to explore management strategies to optimise the value of the rock lobster fishery of Western Australia

The fishery for the western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus) is Western Australia’s most important single species fishery, and yields an average annual catch of 10,500 to 11,000 tonnes valued at between $200 and $300 million at the point of landing. With a high level of exploitation and a...

Mortality, growth and movements of the western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus

An industry based mark recapture program to provide stock assessment inputs for the Western Rock Lobster Fishery following introduction of quota management

The West Coast Lobster Managed Fishery (WCRLMF) moved from input to output controls in 2010. This change directly affected the relativity of a number of fisherybased data sources, making assessment of the fishery more problematic. A novel examination of the stock dynamics was required to help ensure...

Development of culture techniques for spawning and larval rearing of WA dhufish (Glaucosoma hebraicum).

By world standards Australia has not developed a significant marine finfish fanning industry. One of the principal constraints has been the absence of suitable technology for Australian species. This technology is currently being developed in a number of research facilities in temperate regions of...
