This report documents captive breeding trials of river blackfish, a species considered critically threatened in South Australia's Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges. Following a successful spawning effort in 2009/10, researchers conducted two further six-month trials in 2010/11 using sim...
This report details the monitoring of pup production at key Australian sea lion breeding colonies across South Australia from late 2010 to late 2011. Surveys were conducted at major sites including Seal Bay, Seal Slide, and Olive Island, among others, using methods such as mark-r...
This report assesses a trial conducted in the summer of 2011/12 aimed at controlling cyanobacterial blooms in Torrens Lake through controlled upstream water releases. The study found that early dilution flows could reduce cyanobacterial growth below critical thresholds, particula...
This report presents a stock assessment of the Southern Garfish Fishery in South Australia, covering commercial and recreational catch data, population demographics, and modelled estimates of biomass and recruitment. Despite management interventions introduced in 2005, including ...
This report evaluates how effective the South Australian Sardine Fishery's industry Code of Practice has been in reducing interactions with short-beaked common dolphins. Drawing on logbook and independent observer data collected between 2004 and 2012, the report reveals ongoing d...
This study explores how larval fish assemblages in the Lower River Murray vary under different hydrological conditions, ranging from severe drought to overbank flooding. Sampling conducted over several years showed distinct patterns in larval fish abundance tied to species' spawn...
This report documents the environmental and cultural values of water resources across arid regions of South Australia, especially those prioritised for mining and energy development. Part of the Goyder Institute’s FLOWS project, the study combines literature review and stakeholde...
This report presents the second stock assessment of golden perch in South Australia, focusing on their role in the Lakes and Coorong Fishery. Although catch levels declined significantly from a 2006–07 peak, recent age data indicate healthy recruitment and diverse year classes. M...
This report presents the findings of a seagrass condition assessment in Yankalilla Bay, the Light River delta, and Encounter Bay. The study examined epiphyte cover and seagrass health using transects and video analysis. Results showed generally healthy seagrass beds, with epiphyt...
This study used acoustic telemetry to track the movements and residency of bronze whaler and dusky sharks in South Australia's Gulf St Vincent. The research showed seasonal patterns in shark presence, with higher activity in summer months, and suggested that Long Spit is a key ar...
