Students 20 Caleb Gardner 16/12/2013 Page 1 Summary I have qualifications in both economics and biology which interact in research on commercial fisheries. I currently hold two positions. My main role is as the Director, Sustainable Marine Research Collaboration Agreement (SMRCA), Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, UTAS in South East Australia. This role involves supervision and resourcing of over 60 staff and 38 PhD students operating across around 150 projects. Research is mainly on the larger marine industries of farmed Atlantic salmon and wild harvest blacklip abalone and southern rock lobster. However activities also span many other operations including recreational fisheries, scalefish, crabs, scallops and oyster culture. In addition to my role as Director SMRCA, I lead several research projects dealing with wild fisheries species, generally with the objective of improving harvest strategies. I also have a smaller role in leading research activities on wild harvest fisheries at the Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre. Projects in this organisation are mainly related to improving economic yield and reducing ecosystem impacts through better management. Projects involve partnerships between research organisations around Australia and industry organisations including western rock lobster, southern rock lobster, abalone, finfish and prawn fisheries.

Current Employment Current employment is split between two positions: Director, Sustainable Marine Research Collaboration Agreement (SMRCA), Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, Hobart. [80%] The Sustainable Marine Research Collaboration Agreement (SMRCA) defines the partnership between the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian State Government in provision of research services to enable management of marine industries. This includes research on both aquaculture and wild fisheries with most activity directed to the largest industries, which are wild harvest abalone, farmed Atlantic salmon, and wild harvest rock lobster. The SMRCA involves over 60 staff and 38 PhD students. Summaries of current projects are available at: http://fcms.its.utas.edu.au/scieng/mrl/Research.asp Theme leader, Future Harvest, Australian Seafood CRC. [20%] The Future Harvest Theme conducts research on novel management strategies to increase economic yield and productivity of wild fisheries. It involves numerous industry and research provider partners including the Western Australian Fishing Industry Council Inc., Southern Rocklobster Ltd, Tasmanian Seafoods Pty Ltd, Australian Council of Prawn Fisheries Ltd, and Abalone Council Australia Ltd.
