A novel method for obtaining age compositions from ancillary biological data and it’s potential for cost reductions in stock assessments

This project proposal is to implement a new method for determining the age composition using samples of length frequency. This method allows for a significant reduction in the need for annual ageing of samples and makes collected ageing data more valuable. Direct ageing techniques using...

Fishery-independent estimate of spawning biomass of Southern Bluefin Tuna through identification of close-kin using genetic markers

The SBT assessment is subject to a number of uncertainties which complicate management and hence the likelihood of stock rebuilding. The current assessment indicates that spawning stock is heavily depleted relative to its unexploited state. The level of depletion is uncertain; for example, CCSBT SC9...

Shark Futures: Sustainable management of the NSW whaler shark fishery

Little is known about the composition of the shark fishery off the east coast of Australia. Off NSW, the whaler sharks historically represent at least 60% by weight of shark catches in the Ocean Trap & Line Fishery (OTLF). The historical annual shark catch within this fishery averaged around 173.2...
