Development of Fish Health Indicators for the Gladstone Harbour Report Card
The primary aim of this project is an improved understanding of fish health in Gladstone Harbour (and beyond) leading to the potential for improved environmental and fisheries management practices, marketability of fisheries products and enhanced resource sustainability.
Specifically, the objectives of the research project were:
- To review and identify suitable methods to monitor fish health in Gladstone Harbour.
- To develop and implement a data collection approach to monitor fish health in Gladstone Harbour that is both cost-effective and suitable for a fish health indicator.
- To evaluate the potential to adapt and transfer the methods and indicators developed to monitor fish health in other estuaries and ports in Northern Australia.
- To develop fish health indicator(s) based on the data collected and apply them to the Gladstone Harbour Report Card.
