Fisheries-Dependent Indicators Of Climate Change In Western Australia Wamsi:Sub-Project 4.2.3, Nick Caputi, Alan Pearce
Fisheries-Dependent Indicators Of Climate Change In Western Australia Wamsi:Sub-Project 4.2.3, Nick Caputi, Alan Pearce
Fisheries research reports
The use of fishery-dependent data may be a cost-effective way of assessing whether there have been any changes in the distribution and relative abundance of species. Such indicators are part of an ongoing data gathering system and the costs are relatively low compared to those of a fishery-independent field program. Fishery-dependent data may therefore be obtained at a higher frequency and allow detection of changes faster than would be possible from the results from the direct sampling of specific sites within entire ecosystems.

Evaluation Of The Recreational Marron Fishery Against Environmental Change And Human Interaction: Final Frdc Report – Project No. 2003/027, Martin De Graaf, Stephen Beatty, Brett M. Molony
Fisheries research reports
The distribution of marron in the southwest of Australia has seen many changes since European settlement. Reconstructions of their range from historical records suggested that marron inhabited the waters between the Harvey River and Denmark River. Due to translocation, their range has expanded as far north as the Hutt River and as far east as Esperance. Although at present marron still exist in all the original rivers within the southwest, their distribution within these rivers has contracted. Poor water quality, salinity, low rainfall and environmental degradation in the upper and lower reaches have restricted marron populations.

Protecting Inshore And Demersal Finfish Identification Of Critical Habitats For Juvenile Dhufish Workshop Report, Gabby E. Mitsopoulos, Brett W. Molony
Fisheries research reports
A Juvenile Dhufish Workshop was held at the Western Australian Fisheries and Marine Research Laboratories (WAFMRL) on 18th March 2010, which was the first component of a State Natural Resource Management (NRM) funded project entitled “Protecting Inshore and Demersal Finfish - Identification of Critical Habitats for Juvenile Dhufish”. The primary objective of the workshop was to provide a forum for discussion in order to compile all biological, ecological and anecdotal information on the early life history of dhufish, to create hypotheses of habitat requirements for juvenile dhufish and provide recommendations as to which sampling methods should be used to confirm …
Review Of The Exploitation Of Marine Resources Of The Australian Indian Ocean Territories: The Implications Of Biogeographic Isolation For Tropical Island Fisheries, Matthew Hourston
Fisheries research reports
The small islands of the Indian Ocean Territories are isolated reefs in an expanse of open ocean of abyssal depth. The majority of marine species that live on their reefs and lagoons have settled there from remote locations. Colonising individuals are presumed to have come to the island as the result of unusual weather and current conditions and form populations that are, necessarily, largely self-sustaining. The isolated populations that make up many of the fish and invertebrate stocks at the Cocos (Keeling) and Christmas Islands rely almost exclusively on larvae returning to their home reef to settle, grow and ultimately …
Coastal And Marine Resource Condition Monitoring – Scoping Project: Final Nrm Report – Project 073007, Brett A. Human
Coastal And Marine Resource Condition Monitoring – Scoping Project: Final Nrm Report – Project 073007, Brett A. Human
Fisheries research reports
The marine and coastal environment of the Pilbara and Kimberley region in north-western Western Australia contains many assets, including remote and near pristine habitats, unique habitats within Australia, unique fauna and flora; as well as assets of value to commercial and industrial ventures; and for recreational human usage. However, there is a lack of monitoring in the Pilbara and Kimberley marine and coastal environments. This is in large part due to the remoteness of the area, making access difficult, and consequently making monitoring programs expensive to run in the region.

Actions To Implement And Complement The National System For The Prevention And Management Of Introduced Marine Pests In Western Australia, Fred E. Wells, Justin I. Mcdonald
Fisheries research reports
Introduced marine pests are regarded as one of the critical environmental issues worldwide which can damage the marine environment, including that of Western Australia. Most introduced species cause no apparent harm. A small minority of introduced species become pests, but these few can cause substantial economic and ecological damage.
Development Towards Commercialization Of Marine Fish Larvae Feeds – Microdiets: Final Frdc Report - Project 2004/258, Sagiv Kolkovski, John Curnow, Justin King
Development Towards Commercialization Of Marine Fish Larvae Feeds – Microdiets: Final Frdc Report - Project 2004/258, Sagiv Kolkovski, John Curnow, Justin King
Fisheries research reports
The project specifically focused on developing formulated diets for marine fish larvae, specifically targeting more physical aspects of microdiets such as feeding methods, feed availability and particle recognition. A commercially ready microdiet formulation was developed that achieved better ingestion, digestion and survival for yellowtail kingfish than other commercially available diets. Two manufacturers of aquaculture feeds showed interested in the formulations, however neither of the companies have started producing the diet commercially.

The Efficacy Of Sanctuary Areas For The Management Of Fish Stocks And Biodiversity In Wa Waters, James W. Penn, Warrick J. Fletcher
The Efficacy Of Sanctuary Areas For The Management Of Fish Stocks And Biodiversity In Wa Waters, James W. Penn, Warrick J. Fletcher
Fisheries research reports
Debate concerning the relative benefits of marine protected areas (MPAs) for the management of marine resources can often reflect unrecognized differences in the scope, scale and definitions of the objectives being sought by various Government or community bodies. There can also be different opinions on the level of protection required for an area to be considered an ‘MPA’ and functional definitions for both the biological diversity and ecosystems within these areas are often lacking. This paper seeks to outline the relative efficiency and effectiveness of MPAs, especially no-take sanctuary areas, compared to other strategies currently employed to help achieve the …

The Volunteer Fisheries Liaison Officer (Vflo) Program: An Analysis Of Recreational Fishing Data From 1995 - 2007, Claire B. Smallwood, Adrian Thomson, David Harris, Danielle Johnston
Fisheries research reports
The aim of this report was to explore the data collected by VFLOs from 1995 - 2007 in each of the state’s four marine bioregions. During this period, volunteers undertook >2,000 days of activities, the majority of which were educational displays at events such as boat shows and patrols in coastal, marine and estuarine environs. Patrols focused on interviews with recreational anglers to provide information about sustainable fishing and collect data on catch and effort.
