Development of a national sector-specific biosecurity plan guideline and template for the sea-cage finfish (non-salmonid) industry of Australia.

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

The sea-cage aquaculture industry (tuna, kingfish and cobia) currently does not have a set of nationally consistent biosecurity guidelines and templates to assist farmers with the development of on-farm biosecurity plans. However, an industry-wide biosecurity plan is a crucial component of health accreditation programs to facilitate inter-state and international trade...

Socio-economic characterisation of a small scale commercial fishery: opportunities to improve viability and profitability in the Tasmanian Scalefish Fishery

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

The Tasmanian Scalefish Fishery (TSF) is a multi-species, commercial fishery involving many operators and a diversity of methods and gears. Over the past two decades annual landings of scalefish in the TSF have declined sharply with catches of many of the traditionally important scalefish species at historic lows, as are...
