Shark Bay World Heritage Area Draft Management Plan For Fish Resources, Fisheries Department Of Western Australia Nov 1994

Shark Bay World Heritage Area Draft Management Plan For Fish Resources, Fisheries Department Of Western Australia

Fisheries management papers

Shark Bay was inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 1991 on the basis of its natural values. The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) is the management agency with responsibility for the oversight and development of management plans dealing with both the marine and terrestrial aspects of the World Heritage Area. This Draft plan deals with the management of fish resources in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area which are the responsibility of the Fisheries Department of Western Australia.


Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Commitee Chairman's Report, October 1994 - The Western Rock Lobster Fishery - Management Proposals For The 1994/95 And 1995/96 Seasons, Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee, Peter Rogers Oct 1994

Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Commitee Chairman's Report, October 1994 - The Western Rock Lobster Fishery - Management Proposals For The 1994/95 And 1995/96 Seasons, Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee, Peter Rogers

Fisheries management papers

The failures of past restrictions on fishing effort to fully halt the decline of the breeding stock led to the formation of a sub-committee of the Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee. The prime objective of the sub-committee is to evaluate effective long term strategies for managing the fishery so that breeding stock is maintained at an adequate level despite the inevitable increases in catching efficiency. The purpose of this report is firstly to advise industry of the management proposals for the 1994/95 seasons and secondly to form a basis for industry consultation on management arrangements for the 1995/96 season.

Long Term Management Strategies For The Western Rock Lobster Fishery (4 Volumes) - Law Enforcement Considerations (Volume 4), Neil Mclaughlan

Fisheries management papers

This report has been prepared for the consideration of the RLIAC Sub Committee in consultation with members of the Sub Committee working group on law enforcement and with senior staff of the Operations Division of the Fisheries Department. It is focussed exclusively on law enforcement issues associated with the management options for the West Australian west coast rock lobster fishery which were under consideration by the Sub Committee at the time of report preparation and should be read in conjunction with Fisheries Management Paper No. 67 entitled "Evaluation of management options" which covers the broader industry management issues. This report …

Long Term Management Strategies For The Western Rock Lobster Industry (4 Volumes) - Economic Efficiency Of Alternative Input And Output Based Management Systems In The Western Rock Lobster Fishery (Volume 2), Bob Lindner

Fisheries management papers

Since 1965, the Western Rock Lobster Fishery has been managed by what is essentially a license limitation scheme invoiving restricted entry for boats, and strict controls on the aggregate number of pots which can be used by the commercial fishing sector. By most measures, management of this fishery has been highly successful. Biological over-exploitation of the fish stock has been prevented, at least until recently. Notwithstanding these achievements, there is widespread concern that the future profitability, and even the viability of the industry is under threat unless the current management practices are reformed. Because of the complexity and intrinsic uncertainty …


Long Term Management Strategies For The Western Rock Lobster Fishery (4 Volumes) - A Market-Based Economic Assessment For The Western Rock Lobster Industry (May 1994) (Volume 3), Marec Pty Ltd Oct 1994

Long Term Management Strategies For The Western Rock Lobster Fishery (4 Volumes) - A Market-Based Economic Assessment For The Western Rock Lobster Industry (May 1994) (Volume 3), Marec Pty Ltd

Fisheries management papers

In October 1992 a special Sub-Committee of the Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee was set up to consider and evaluate future management strategies for the rock lobster fishery. Pursuant to this the Director of Fisheries commissioned a marketing study that is the basis of this report. This study was commenced in early October 1993 and completed in May 1994. This study looked at the market implications of fishery's management strategies. In particular it assesses how the existing management structure limits the potential for the lobster industry to maximise the financial return, and in doing so provides an insight into the …


Long Term Management Strategies For The Western Rock Lobster (4 Volumes) - Evaluation Of Management Options (Volume 1), B. K. Bowen, Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee Oct 1994

Long Term Management Strategies For The Western Rock Lobster (4 Volumes) - Evaluation Of Management Options (Volume 1), B. K. Bowen, Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee

Fisheries management papers

This report has been written following approval by the Minister for Fisheries of a recommendation by the Rock LObster Industry Advisory Committee that a major evaluation of future management options for the western rock lobster fishery be undertaken. The report provides background information on the management strategies and principles of the fishery, its stock status, the use of input and output controls and the size of the fishing fleet. The report concludes with an examination of the effect of maintaining effort (input) controls and moving to a system of variable effort (TAE/ITEs) or moving to direct (output) controls on the …

Fisheries management papers

The results of a major review into recreational gill and haul netting in Western Australia were announced by the Minister for Fisheries, Hon. Monty House MLA on 24 December 1993. This document presents the findings of the recreational netting review and the process which resulted in the announced changed to management practices.


Phylogenetic Analysis Of Segment 10 From African Horsesickness Virus And Cognate Genes From Other Orbiviruses, Rafael O. De Sá, Marla Zellner, Marvin J. Grubman Mar 1994

Phylogenetic Analysis Of Segment 10 From African Horsesickness Virus And Cognate Genes From Other Orbiviruses, Rafael O. De Sá, Marla Zellner, Marvin J. Grubman

Biology Faculty Publications

Utilizing the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure, we have synthesized full-length copies of segment 10 from African horsesickness virus (AHSV) serotypes 1,4 and 8. The genes were cloned, sequenced and compared with the sequence of the cognate gene from AHSV serotypes 3 and 9. Sequences were analyzed to assess evolutionary relationships among serotypes using cladistics. Based on this analysis the data support a close relationship between serotypes 4 and 9 and between serotypes 1 and 8 and a closer relationship of serotype 3 to the 4 and 9 group.


A Physical Map Of The Klebsiella Pneumoniae M5a1 Genome, Alexandrine Randriamahefa Mar 1994

A Physical Map Of The Klebsiella Pneumoniae M5a1 Genome, Alexandrine Randriamahefa

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an enteric opportunistic pathogen which commonly causes pulmonary, urinary tract and kidney infections. It has also been widely used for the study of nitrogen fixation. In this study, a macrorestriction map of K. pneumoniae M5a1 chromosomal DNA was constructed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and Southern hybridization techniques. The genome DNA was digested with two rare cutting restriction enzymes (XbaI and BlnI) and the genome size was estimated from the sum of the fragment sizes as 5,121 Kb (+2.8%). A tentative order of fragments was deduced using Southern hybridization with purified restriction fragments. …


Development And Application Of A Thermistor Current Meter, Carl M. Way, Albert J. Burky, Christine Miller-Way Jan 1994

Development And Application Of A Thermistor Current Meter, Carl M. Way, Albert J. Burky, Christine Miller-Way

Biology Faculty Publications

This report provides details for the construction of a hot-bead thermistor current meter which is capable of measuring water velocities on a millimeter spatial scale and for the construction of a compact and accurate calibration system. Hot-bead thermistor current meters can be built with response times of 200 ms capable of measuring velocities between 0.1 and 80 cm s-1. The construction of a sturdy probe for application in lotic systems such as high gradient Hawaiian streams was achieved by the use of heavy-duty acrylic tubing, small stainless steel gas-chromatography tubing, and flexible Tygon spaghetti tubing. An acrylic handle anchors the …
