Sentinel sensors: revolutionising our understanding and management of the estuarine environment

Priority R&D focus for many sectors and agencies is on improving management and sustainability of our marine and estuarine environments for multi-users, and ensuring social licence to operate. This proposal has been developed to validate the novel use of biosensors on sentinel individuals to provide...

Where do Calamari spawn in Northern Tasmania and how will this information aid the management of the Calamari fishery in Northern Tasmania?

Southern Calamari are an important species in Tasmania to both commercial and recreational fishers. The species seasonally aggregate over shallow seagrass beds to spawn. It is at this time they are targeted by fishers, with the aggregative behaviour facilitating good catch rates. Southern...

Golden fish: evaluating and optimising the biological, social and economic returns of small-scale fisheries

This project was conceived following discussions with scientists from Europe and the USA on the social and economic implications of release programs, during an international symposium on fish stock enhancement in 2014. There is great interest in using releases programs (i.e. restocking/stock...

Putting potential environmental risk of Australia's trawl fisheries in landscape perspective: exposure of seabed assemblages to trawling, and inclusion in closures and reserves

Addressing & demonstrating the environmental sustainability of fishing — particularly trawling — remains a major challenge & priority in management plans for many demersal fisheries in Australia. The effects of trawling (EoT) are contentious, with often negative perceptions among the public & media,...

Next-generation Close-kin Mark Recapture: using SNPs to identify half-sibling pairs in Southern Bluefin Tuna and estimate abundance, mortality and selectivity

Abundance, mortality and selectivity are three of the most influential parameters in stock assessment; however, they are commonly the most difficult to estimate. In most fisheries, these parameters are estimated using a time-series of relative abundance (e.g. CPUE from catch and effort data) and...

Addressing knowledge gaps for studies of the effect of water resource development on the future of the Northern Prawn Fishery

The estuaries of Australia’s tropical rivers support commercial fisheries for finfish, crustaceans and shellfish valued at approximately $220 million per annum, with the Northern Prawn Fishery valued at $115 million (2013-14) (Savage and Hobsbawn 2015). FRDC 2007/003, (PIs: Burford, Kenyon),...

IPA APFA: detection of pesticide impacts on larval prawns in hatcheries and presence in estuarine intake water

New types of pesticides are being used in both agriculture and in “household” applications. The use of organophosphate pesticides is being phased out because they are toxic to a wide range of aquatic life forms and replaced by neonicotinoid pesticides, such as imidacloprid, which are more specific...
