Improving Southern Rock Lobster on-vessel handling practices, data collection and industry tools for lobster quality assessment

The Australian Southern rock lobster (SRL, Jasus edwardsii) fishery is largely reliant on an international live lobster market. The increased value of lobsters and reliance on live export has meant that even low levels of stock losses or poor product quality can have significant financial or brand...

South Australian Pacific Oyster selective breeding program: Building POMS resistance to reduce risk for the South Australian oyster industry

In 2015-16, the SA oyster industry had an on-farm value of $32 million and employed approximately 230 people directly; with indirect and downstream aspects, these figures increase to $150 million and 700 people (Econsearch 2017). Farming is regionally based (i.e. Denial Bay, Smoky Bay, Streaky Bay,...

Knowledge to improve the assessment and management of Giant Mud Crabs (Scylla serrata) in Queensland

The Giant Mud Crab (GMC, Scylla serrata) is an iconic and major target species of commercial, recreational and indigenous fisheries in northern Australia. However, the true harvest of this species from Queensland (Qld) waters is unknown (due to non-validated commercial catch, imprecise and sporadic...

Investigation of the direct and indirect role of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) on Western Rock Lobster settlement processes: with consideration of the potential role of contaminants

Recruitment to the western rock lobster fishery has been recognised to be largely driven by environmental conditions but the role of freshwater and/or contaminant derived from submarine groundwater discharge from land is unknown. Various anecdotal accounts from Western Australia, the Caribbean and...

Wider investigation of the use of video survey techniques to determine commercial scallop abundance in inshore and offshore waters, closed areas and juvenile beds

Developing a robust understanding of the population dynamics of valuable fishery species, such as biomass and size structure of the population, plays a critical role in fishery management. In scallop fisheries around the world, the method of collection of these data has been moving away from solely...
