This study investigated whether natural and artificial barriers along Kangaroo Island’s Middle River impede the diadromous migration of native galaxiid fish species. Using otolith microchemistry, researchers found that climbing galaxias (Galaxias brevipinnis) can pass Strepera Fa...
This report presents a novel bio-physical management tool developed to optimise prawn and crab harvest strategies in Spencer Gulf, South Australia. Researchers modelled larval dispersal and settlement patterns for Western King Prawn and Blue Swimmer Crab by integrating biological...
'This report presents the outcomes of a tracking program designed to inform carp control strategies in the Glenelg River system. Using acoustic telemetry, researchers monitored the movement of 131 tagged 'Judas' carp to understand habitat use and movement patterns. The study foun...
This report presents the 2014 stock assessment for the West Coast Prawn Fishery, focusing on Penaeus latisulcatus. The fishery recorded an annual catch of 146.3 tonnes, primarily from Venus Bay, with Coffin Bay contributing a smaller share. Despite a slight decrease in total catc...
This report captures the outcomes of a 2015 international workshop focused on advancing integrated marine management, using South Australia's Spencer Gulf as a potential case study. As marine ecosystems face increasing pressure from diverse and often conflicting human uses, the r...
This report assesses how littoral and floodplain vegetation responded to a managed weir pool raising event in the River Murray during spring 2014. The study evaluated both littoral understorey plants and river red gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) using intensive and spatially dist...
This report presents the third phase of a multi-year trial assessing the use of drip irrigation to improve the health of black box (Eucalyptus largiflorens) woodlands on the Markaranka Floodplain in South Australia. Building on previous findings, the 2015 trial tested various wat...
This report summarises seven years of data on interactions between commercial fisheries in South Australia and species classified as threatened, endangered, or protected (TEPS). Covering the period from 2007/08 to 2013/14, it documents nearly 1,500 reported interactions involving...
This report provides an updated assessment of the Southern Zone of South Australia's Abalone Fishery, focusing on blacklip (Haliotis rubra) and greenlip (H. laevigata) species. While blacklip abalone stocks were previously considered sustainable, recent declines in catch rates, d...
This report outlines the development of a targeted management strategy for common carp in Torrens Lake, Adelaide. Using acoustic telemetry and a mark-recapture harvest experiment, the study assessed carp movement, habitat preferences, and population density. The results highlight...
