Passive acoustic techniques to monitor aggregations of sound producing fish species

Summary: Management of fisheries is a difficult task. This is often because the tools used to study and monitor exploited species and their environment typically provide only a biased, vague, and all too brief snapshot of the underwater situation. It is therefore not surprising that many...

Estimating fishing mortality of major target species and species of conservation interest in the Queensland east coast shark fishery

The Queensland east coast inshore fin fish fishery (ECIFFF) operates in tidal and near shore waters spanning from Cape York in the north to the New South Wales border in the south. The commercial sector of the ECIFFF is extremely diverse with fishing undertaken using mesh net, haul (seine) net,...

Utilising innovative technology to better understand Spanish mackerel spawning aggregations and the protection offered by marine protected areas

Spanish mackerel is an important commercial and recreational species with a total catch of 650t taken from Queensland east coast waters annually in recent years (Holmes, 2007 and 2008). The ecology of the Queensland east coast Spanish mackerel stock includes a strong seasonal and predictable...

Towards understanding greenlip abalone population structure

Fine-scale population structure is common in many inshore marine species (Swearer et al. 2002; Orensanz et al. 2005), particularly sedentary invertebrates with limited larval dispersal whose populations (or stocks) tend to be characterised by a complex spatial structure evident at fine spatial...

Assessing the impacts of gillnetting in Tasmania: implications for by-catch and biodiversity

In Tasmania, unlike most other Australian states, recreational as well as commercial fishers are permitted to use gillnets. The gear is used to target a diverse range of finfish in a variety of habitats, including inshore reefs and sheltered coastal waters. The main scalefish species taken include...

El Nemo South East: Quantitative testing of fisheries management arrangements under climate change using Atlantis

Climate change will be a driver that influences ecosystems and the sustainability of industries dependent upon them, in turn impacting on the value of resources and ecosystem services to the community. Biophysical consequences of global change are likely to include changed oceanic conditions (e.g....

Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: characterisation of EST03G12 and elucidation of its role in Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) severity

In Tasmania, amoebic gill disease (AGD) is the main health concern of the Atlantic salmon mariculture industry costing >$20m p.a to treat and in lost production. Outbreaks of AGD are most prevalent during spring/summer due to high salinity and water temperatures. Currently, freshwater bathing is...

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: Investigation of an emerging bacterial disease in wild Queensland gropers, marine fish and stingrays with production of diagnostic tools to reduce the spread of disease to other states of Australia

In 2008-2009, 46 wild Queensland (QLD) gropers, Epinephelus lanceolatus, a protected species under the Fisheries Regulation 2008, were found dead between Mackay and the Daintree River in north Queensland. Most deaths occurred in highly urbanised areas including Cairns and Port Douglas, with peak...

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: Improved fish health management for integrated inland aquaculture through Better Management Practices (BMPs)

Inland aquaculture encompasses a range of aquatic species farmed in open ponds and cages. Globally, the vast majority of finfish are farmed in inland waters.In Australia there are several small-scale species-based industries which together represent an important aquaculture sector. These include...
