This stock assessment determined the status of the Lakes and Coorong Fishery for Pipi 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 Management Plan for the...
Potential for Zostera seagrass recovery and rehabilitation to enhance blue carbon in South Australia
The Adelaide coastal waters have experienced a substantial and well documented decline in seagrass cover over the last 50+ years, primarily due to declines in large, long-lived genera (Amphibolis and Posidonia), which are typically slow to recover. There are also several estuarie...
The Chowilla Floodplain is the largest remaining area of undeveloped floodplain habitat in the lower Murray-Darling Basin (MDB). Nonetheless, it has suffered ecological degradation due to reduced magnitude, duration and frequency of flooding as a result of river regulation and wa...
Port Spencer, north of Tumby Bay, is being developed by Peninsula Ports as a grain export facility. The port development will include the construction of a causeway and jetty which will impact on the benthic habitat, including seagrasses, hence these need to be mapped prior to co...
This report assesses the current status of the Blue Crab (Portunus armatus) resource and provides the latest estimates of the biological performance indicators (PIs), information in context of the reference points (RPs) and stock status classification described in the Management ...
Shipping is a major vector for marine pest introductions, and port areas are therefore at high risk of new marine pest introductions. Knowledge of pest occurrence around ports is also required for management, including to ensure compliance with ballast water controls. Surveys of ...
The Lower Lakes, Coorong and Murray Mouth (LLCMM) region is a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, and an ‘icon site’ under The Living Murray (TLM) initiative. During the Millennium Drought (2001–2010) in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB), the Coorong eco...
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 suppo...
The Lower Lakes, Coorong and Murray Mouth (LLCMM) region is a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. It is also an ‘icon site’ under The Living Murray (TLM) initiative. During the Millennium Drought (2001–2010) in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB), the Coor...
This report is the second in a new series for South Australia’s Lakes and Coorong Fishery (LCF). It provides a description of the dynamics of the multi-species and multi-gear fleet, a stock assessment for Yelloweye Mullet, the catch statistics for Carp (an invasive species) and a...
