Improving the precision of estimates of egg production and spawning biomass obtained using the Daily Egg Production Method

Small pelagic fishes such as Australian Sardine, Blue Mackerel, Jack Mackerel and Redbait are known as forage or low trophic level species (Pikitch et al. 2012). They are critical components of pelagic ecosystems and important prey items for a range of predatory fishes, seabirds and marine mammals...

Pacific oyster feeds and feeding in South Australian waters: towards ecosystem based management

Culture of Pacific oysters has developed rapidly in South Australia, which has the highest production in Australia, with a farm-gate value of $40M (~6,250,000 dozen) and ~1000 FTEs employed in 2011/12 (EcoSearch, 2003). Oysters are a filter feeding bivalve with a large filtration capacity, and can...

Mud cockle (Katelysia spp.) stock enhancement/restoration: practical implementation and policy evaluation

Many bivalve stocks around the world have collapsed as a consequence of a combination of commercial fishing effort, recreational and commercial watercraft activities, recruitment failure, mass mortality, and habitat degradation (Arnold, 2001). These impacts not only affect potential fishery yields,...

Predicting marine currents, nutrients and plankton in the coastal waters of south eastern Tasmania in response to changing weather patterns

This project has arisen in response to industry need for the scientific understanding necessary to support ecologically sustainable development of salmon farming operations in southeastern Tasmania, in particular potential expansion into Storm Bay. Climate models predict that the most pronounced...

Improved understanding of Tasmanian harmful algal blooms and biotoxin events to support seafood risk management

In Oct 2012, Japanese import authorities detected Paralytic Shellfish Toxins (PSTs) in a consignment of mussels (Mytilus edulis planulatus) harvested from east coast Tasmania. The mussels had bioaccumulated toxins through feeding on a bloom of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense affecting...
