Fishes are at considerable risk from changing environmental conditions because they are, for most part, unable to regulate their body temperature. Exposure to high temperatures may therefore compromise critical biological functions, resulting in reduced performance, fitness and ultimately survival....
Experimental trawling in Gulf St Vincent indicated that epifaunal assemblages experienced substantial trawling mortality, which varied depending on sediment characteristics. Locations with strong currents and coarse sediments experienced minimal effects, whereas those with weak currents and...
A significant achievement of this project has been the completion of mapping of coastal wetland habitats using remote sensing techniques, which provided a complete broad-scale coverage of mud crab habitats in the NT and Qld. A major outcome/output of this work has been the incorporation of the...
From 2016 to 2018, recreational fishers across Australia focussed their attention on fish habitat as part of the project, Empowering recreational fishers as champions of healthy fish habitat.
Fish habitat throughout Australia is in trouble. Progressive degradation of fish habitat has occurred since...
