Fisheries biology of short-spined sea urchins (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) in Tasmania: supporting a profitable harvest and appropriate management

A small study on the sea urchin (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) in the 1970s showed the potential for a specialised urchin fishery. The first quality roe was landed in 1983 for domestic markets, and by 1985 divers began exporting to Japan. This sparked speculative demand for licenses, and in that year...
