This is the sixth report on threatened, endangered and protected species (TEPS) interactions within South Australia’s commercial fisheries. It is a legal requirement under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) that all interactions between c...
This report assesses the current status of the West Coast Prawn Fishery (WCPF) through analysis of data collected by several long-term monitoring programs. The harvest strategy for the WCPF does not contain performance indicators (PIs) linked to a definition of stock status. Con...
The flow regime is the primary driver of ecological patterns and processes in riverine ecosystems, with water level variability and flooding, thought to be particularly critical in supporting the ecological function of floodplain rivers. River regulation and consumptive water u...
Carp exclusion screens (CES) are physical mesh barriers that are installed at wetland inlets and outlets to exclude carp from entering preferred breeding grounds. However, without careful management screens may have significant impacts on other fish and fauna that use wetlands or...
This report presents fishery data and synthesises stock status information for key species in each sub-area (i.e. East and West) of the Commonwealth Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF). This report is required at Tiers 1 and 2 of the SPF Harvest Strategy 2008 (last revised April 2015). T...
This report provides an assessment of the current stock status of Haliotis rubra (hereafter referred to as blacklip) and H. laevigata (hereafter referred to as greenlip) in the Southern Zone (SZ) of the South Australian Abalone Fishery.The assessment is required under the Manage...
This report provides an assessment of the status of the South Australian Giant Crab Fishery using data to the end of the 2014 fishing season. It is reliant on fishery-dependent data that are analysed at the scale of the whole fishery, the Northern Zone (NZ) and Southern Zone (SZ)...

A series of 11 Locks and Weirs along the River Murray are managed to provide stable water levels for irrigation and navigation, resulting in reduced hydrological variability and complexity. Flow stablisation favours species adapted to comparatively stable, lentic conditions and p...
The Coorong, South Australia, was listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the 1985 Ramsar convention due to its significant ecological and cultural value. Critical to the management of the Coorong is an understanding of trophic dynamics of the system and, in particu...
