This stock assessment determined the status of South Australia’s Northern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (NZRLF) and provides the latest estimates of the biological performance indicators (PIs) in context of the reference points (RPs) and stock status classification described in the M...
This stock assessment determined the status of South Australia’s Southern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (SZRLF) and provides the latest estimates of the biological performance indicators (PIs) in context of the reference points (RPs) and stock status classification described in the M...
The Chowilla Anabranch and Floodplain system is the largest remaining area of undeveloped floodplain habitat in the lower River Murray. Chowilla consists of a range of aquatic habitats that are now rare in the region, including permanently flowing creeks, and these habitats supp...
