This report assesses the stock status of blacklip and greenlip abalone in Region A of South Australia's Western Zone. Drawing on a combination of harvest strategy and traditional assessment methods, it finds both species to be sustainably fished. For blacklip abalone, a previous ...
This report provides a stock assessment of greenlip and blacklip abalone in Region B of South Australia's Western Zone. It identifies significant declines in catch per unit effort (CPUE) across both species, indicating reduced abundance of legal-sized abalone. The data show that ...
This study investigated how shark cage-diving operations influence the fine-scale movement patterns of white sharks at the Neptune Islands, South Australia. Using acoustic tracking, researchers found that sharks altered their horizontal and vertical movements in response to berle...
This report evaluates the effects of environmental watering on understory vegetation across nine wetlands in the Chowilla Floodplain between 2008 and 2012. The study found that watering supported the recruitment of floodplain and amphibious plant species and helped improve the ar...
This report assesses the status of the Northern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery for the 2010/11 season, marking the second consecutive year in which the full Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC) was harvested. While historical declines had seen effort and catch rates drop significan...
This report assesses the status of greenlip and blacklip abalone stocks in South Australia's Central Zone for 2011. Greenlip abalone, which accounts for the majority of the TACC, has experienced biomass decline at Tiparra Reef, prompting concern over the sustainability of current...
This report presents the results of a four-year study monitoring key fish species in the Coorong, a Ramsar-listed wetland of international importance. It focuses on the condition of black bream, greenback flounder, and smallmouthed hardyhead populations between 2008 and 2012. The...
This report presents the first-year findings of a multi-year study into the movement and stock structure of Snapper in South Australia. Using otolith microstructure analysis and acoustic telemetry, the study tracked regional differences in Snapper populations and documented movem...
This report documents the 2011/12 phase of the Critical Fish Habitat Project, which aims to reintroduce four threatened freshwater fish species to the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth region. Following years of drought and habitat degradation, improved water conditions allow...
This report evaluates the status of the Southern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (SZRLF) for the 2010/11 season. It marks the first year since 2006 in which more than 99% of the TACC was harvested. Catch per unit effort increased notably after years of decline, and fishery models estim...
