This stock assessment determined the status of South Australia’s Southern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (SZRLF) through analysis of data from several long-term monitoring programs. The current harvest strategy does not define when the stock is considered 'recruitment-overfished' and ...
Fishways are used to reinstate connectivity in fragmented river systems and partially mitigate the impact of barriers to fish movement. The Murray Barrages, at the terminus of Australia’s longest river system, the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), separate the estuarine waters of the C...
