Review of FRDC's Industry Partnership Agreements (IPAs), Research Advisory Committees (RACs), Subprograms and Coordination Programs

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project addresses two recommendations from an independent review that FRDC: - reviews the way it organises and manages its RD&E program with the aim of making it more easily understood; and - strengthen its approach to extension, possibly by creating a specific position to coordinate extension across the organisation.

Validating a new sampling technique for estimating egg production

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aimed to improve the accuracy and precision of estimates of spawning biomass obtained using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM). Previous work has highlighted the high levels of uncertainty associated with estimates of spawning biomass obtained using the DEPM. It is widely recognised that uncertainty in estimates of...

NCCP: Development of hydrological, ecological and epidemiological modelling to inform a CyHV3 release strategy for the biocontrol of carp in the Murray Darling Basin

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aimed to predict the effect of the CyHV-3 virus on carp in the Murray Darling Basin using computer modelling. The final model will have several uses, including working out where and when to release the virus so as to maximise the removal of carp, whilst at the same...

Research project

Reinvigorating the Queensland Oyster Industry

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to assess the potential of tropical oyster aquaculture as a emerging aquaculture growth opportunity. It will provide the baseline data of species distributions that would be required for licence/permit applications to be granted. It will also extend R&D into the development of hatchery molecular tools to facilitate...

Rebuilding Southern Rock Lobster stocks on the east coast of Tasmania: informing options for management

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to better understand the relationships between fisher behaviour, their expectations/aspirations, their responses to changes in stock status and to management intervention to implement effective management strategies. This project aims to articulate the practical challenges to achieving the stock rebuilding objective and provide options to assist managers and...

A trivalent vaccine for sustainable Yellowtail Kingfish growout

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to create a trivalent vaccine to reduce photobacteriosis outbreaks in farmed Yellowtail Kingfish (reported in association with Photobacterium damselae subsp damselae (Pdd), Photobacterium damselae subspecies piscicida(Pdp) and various Vibrio harveyi(Vh) isolates). It will do this by: - generating a comprehensive genome database of Australian isolates of Pdd,...

Barramundi origins: determining the contribution of stocking to the Barramundi catch on Queensland's east coast

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to determine the proportion of Queensland east coast wild barramundi catch that is of hatchery origin in order to improve quantitative stock assessment. Recognising the need for a cheap and effective method to identify the contribution of stocked fish, the project will: - develop a near infrared...

Develop a strong current warning system and inform knowledge of the nearshore current regime influencing the Western Rock Lobster fishery

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to develop a predictive warning system for ocean conditions that can be used by the Western Rock Lobsters fishers to improve efficiency. When currents reach high enough velocities they can drag the gear floats below the surface, making the retrieval of the pots impossible. Furthermore, even faster...

A South Australian gulfs and coastal ecosystem model to optimise multi-species fisheries management in a changing environment

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to develop a South Australian Gulfs and Coastal ecosystem model to provide a Management Strategy Evaluation tool to assess and optimise a range of reform scenarios generated to provide long-term sustainability (quotas for multi-species fisheries and multi-sector harvest strategies) of key stocks for both recreational and commercial...

Recreational fishing and human wellbeing: insights from existing data and development of best practice approaches to future measurement

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

This project aims to fill knowledge gaps about the effect of recreational fishing on the health and wellbeing of recreational fishers. Currently, measuring and valuing the wellbeing benefits of recreational fishing is not currently possible due to a lack of evidence, and limited methods for monitoring, measuring and reporting effects....
