Marine embayments and estuaries play an important role in the ecology and life history of many fish species. Cockburn Sound is one of a relative paucity of marine embayments on the west coast of Australia. Its sheltered waters and close proximity to a capital city have resulted in anthropogenic intrusion and extensive seascape modification. This study aimed to compare the sampling efficiencies of baited videos and fish traps in determining the relative abundance and diversity of temperate demersal fish species associated with naturally occurring (seagrass, limestone outcrops and soft sediment) and modified (rockwall and dredge channel) habitats in Cockburn Sound. …

Fisheries research reports
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are located in the Indian Ocean (12° 12” S, 96° 54” E). The group is comprised of two separate coral atolls, consisting of 27 islands. The southern atoll consists of 26 islands, surrounding a shallow lagoon, two of which are inhabited with a total population of approximately 600 people. Management of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands’ fish resources is conducted by the Department of Fisheries Western Australia (DoF), on behalf of the Commonwealth Government, under a Service Delivery Agreement (SDA). Between 2006 and 2011 DoF has conducted annual risk assessments to focus research and management objectives for …
