Relationships Between Faunal Assemblages and Habitat Types in Broke Inlet, Western Australia
Relationships between faunal assemblages and habitat types in Broke Inlet, Western Australia Submitted by James Richard Tweedley This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2010 B.Sc (Hons) University of Portsmouth (UK) MRes University of Plymouth (UK) Declaration I declare that the information contained in this thesis is the result of my own research unless otherwise cited, and has as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any university. __________________________________________ James Richard Tweedley Shifting Sands: The sand bar at the mouth of Broke Inlet in (top) summer and (bottom) winter 2008. Bottom photo by Bryn Farmer. Abstract The work for this thesis was undertaken in Broke Inlet, a seasonally-open estuary on the south coast of Western Australia and the only estuary in that region which is regarded as “near-pristine” (Commonwealth of Australia, 2002). The only previous seasonal studies of the environmental and biotic characteristics of this estuary involved broad-based descriptions of the trends in salinity, temperature and ichthyofaunal characteristics at a limited number of sites. Furthermore, no attempt has been made to identify statistically the range of habitats present in the nearshore and offshore waters of this system, and the extents to which the characteristics of the fish and benthic invertebrate faunas are related to habitat type. These types of data provide not only reliable inventories of the habitat and faunal characteristics of Broke Inlet, but also a potential basis for predicting the likely impact of anthropogenic and climatic changes in Broke Inlet in the future. -

Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? Christopher Costello∗
Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? Christopher Costello∗ I examine the estimated economic, ecological, and food security effects of future fishery management reform in Asia. Without climate change, most Asian fisheries stand to gain substantially from reforms. Optimizing fishery management could increase catch by 24% and profit by 34% over business- as-usual management. These benefits arise from fishing some stocks more conservatively and others more aggressively. Although climate change is expected to reduce carrying capacity in 55% of Asian fisheries, I find that under climate change large benefits from fishery management reform are maintained, though these benefits are heterogeneous. The case for reform remains strong for both catch and profit, though these numbers are slightly lower than in the no-climate change case. These results suggest that, to maximize economic output and food security, Asian fisheries will benefit substantially from the transition to catch shares or other economically rational fishery management institutions, despite the looming effects of climate change. Keywords: Asia, climate change, fisheries, rights-based management JEL codes: Q22, Q28 I. Introduction Global fisheries have diverged sharply over recent decades. High governance, wealthy economies have largely adopted output controls or various forms of catch shares, which has helped fisheries in these economies overcome inefficiencies arising from overfishing (Worm et al. 2009) and capital stuffing (Homans and Wilen 1997), and allowed them to turn the corner toward sustainability (Costello, Gaines, and Lynham 2008) and profitability (Costello et al. 2016). But the world’s largest fishing region, Asia, has instead largely pursued open access and input controls, achieving less long-run fishery management success (World Bank 2017). -

TUCKER, JR. Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. 5600 North U.S. Highway 1. Fort Pierce. Florida 34946 USA Abstract The current available information on spawning by serranid fishes in captivity is reviewed. Much work has been done on members of thefamily Serranidae becauseof their value as food or ornamental fish. At least 31 species have been induced to ovulate with honnones, and at least 23 species have spawned voluntarily (without chemical treatment) in captivity. Typically, a serranid female with fully-yolked oocytes will ovulate within 24-72 h (usually 36-50 h) after the first of 1-3 injectious of 500-1,000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin/kg body weight. Similar results have been obtained for several species given 1-3 injections of 10-50 Ilg luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogi kg body weight. Voluntary spawning has occurred mostly with well-fed uncrowded fish during the natural spawning season under conditions of ambient temperature and partial or total natural light. -

Chapter 11: The Inland Waters River Fishery Information System CHAPTER 11: INLAND WATERS RIVER FISHERY INFORMATION SYSTEM 11.1 Background The Inland Waters River fishery is a multi-species, multi-gear fishery encompassing the South Australian sector of the River Murray and its backwaters (Map 11.1). Historically, the fishery was based on harvesting Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii), golden perch (Macquaria ambigua), and bony bream (Nematalosa erebi). The fishery was restructured in July 2003 to a non-native dominate fishery and the commercial fishing for significant native species is now prohibited. The fishery is now based predominantly on the taking European carp (Cyprinus carpio) and redfin perch (Perca fluviatilis). There are a total of 6 licence holders who operate within the fishery. Prior to the restructure 30 license holders fished the river, each with a designated reach. Up to December 2007 SARDI production tables hold in excess of 270,000 daily records. Data is held from 1984/85 to current and is continually being updated. Refer to Figure 11.3 for an entity relationship diagram of the inland waters system that encompasses the River Fishery.
