The Murray-Darling Basin Plan water recovery objectives through the Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) show outstanding potential to be accelerated through complementary measures. A complementary measures program encompasses a range of non-flow related investments to achieve ecological...
This is a report on the second stage of a two part program investigating hatchery production, farming and seeding of the commercial scallop, Pecten fumatus. A total of more than four million scallop spat were produced for farming trials and over 250 000 scallops ranging in size from 20-60 mm were...
The bioassay section of this study provides, for the first time, estimations of lethal and growth reducing concentrations for the major production-limiting water quality variables for P. monodon. These critical concentrations were assessed using comparable experimental facilities and procedures....
The purpose of this project was to study the use of mid-water and surface structures (Fish Aggregating Devices - F.A.D.'s) in attracting commercial species of pelagic fish in economic quantities.
A sampling method was developed to quantify changes in the abundance of abalone on reefs in NSW from Port Stephens to the Victorian border. The method is based on the repeated sampling of the same, fixed areas and has been used each year since 1994 to provide indices of the relative abundance of...
