To provide fisheries managers with models for assessing the impact on yield of proposed changes to the legislated minimum legal size of snapper. To provide fisheries managers with information on the genetic relationship between snapper populations in south Queensland, Northern New South Wales and east of the Swains Reefs (Southern Great Barrier Reef). To develop methods of estimating relative abundance and year class strength of juvenile snapper. Queensland Department of Primary Industries 2 New South Wales Fisheries Research Institute Final Report, FRDC Project 93/074 Assessment of the Snapper fishery in Qld and NSW NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY Previous work to validate snapper age estimates was supported but this validation is still suspect in northern NSW and Queensland. The reason the validation is called into question is that the clarity of interpretation of otolith edges changed with latitude.

  • Seine River Temperature Project
    SEINE RIVER TEMPERATURE PROJECT A multi-year project designed to determine environmental and traditional ecological knowledge indicators for lake sturgeon spawning windows A Five-Year Summary of Work Conducted from 2011 to 2015 March 2016 Prepared by Ryan Haines, Kenora Resource Consultants Inc. for Seine River First Nation In Memory of Myron Johnson As a co-worker and friend…you will be missed. i Executive Summary In 1926, the Sturgeon Falls Generating Station was constructed along the Seine River to create hydroelectric power and this facility is currently operated by H2O Power. One of the major threats to lake sturgeon is the impact of peaking hydroelectric developments on the water levels during the spring spawning season. The purpose of the Seine River Temperature Project is to help define the spring spawn for Seine River sturgeon through surrogate environmental indicators and note any effects of peaking on spawning. In addition, a goal of the project was to determine if the increases in water levels at the Seine River First Nation community are due solely to the flow from the Seine River, or if the dam at the outlet of Rainy Lake affects the water levels resulting in the Seine River functioning as a reservoir. Between 2011 and 2015, Seine River First Nation community technicians studied the spawning timing of lake sturgeon at two important spawning sites in Seine River below the Sturgeon Falls dam to help determine the environmental indicators (temperature, photoperiod, flows) for lake sturgeon spawning. In addition, work was done with Seine River First Nation Elders and knowledge holders in the fall of 2012 to identify Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) indicators for lake sturgeon spawning in Seine River.

  • Drought Impact on Fish Communities and River Health in the Corangamite Region
    Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region An isolated pool in Painkalac Creek. Tom Ryan and John McGuckin Report prepared for Corangamite Catchment Management Authority August 2007 Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region Executive Summary This study provides a rapid assessment of river condition and aims to determine the key issues affecting aquatic health including the relative impact of drought. It is designed to help prioritise potential management actions in the drought response plan. Pre-existing catchment issues, such as water extraction, extensive land clearing and lack of riparian vegetation can directly affect river health and compounds impacts caused directly by drought. Where catchments have been degraded by past management practices, the severity of the drought upon stream health has been the most extreme. Waters examined in this study have been classified into 3 distinct classes of river health, streams with minor stress, streams with moderate stress and streams that have severe stress. Waterways with minor drought stress had lower streamflows than normal as a result of the drought but were in no immediate threat of becoming severely stressed by the drought. Waters classified as having moderate stress are ones in which the existing aquatic fauna is expected to be experiencing some stress, however, the stress is unlikely to have caused the loss of species. Streamflow may have ceased in freshwater reaches and water deterioration may have occurred in remaining refuge habitat, however, the duration of the stress upon aquatic fauna has only been for a relatively short period.
