His work spans the study of marine species and how they interact with each other and their environment, assessing commercial and recreational fisheries and the importance of seafood to global food security. With over twenty years research experience at a state, national and international level, Associate Professor Tracey has been able to facilitate a big picture perspective to local issues and, conversely, the importance of local issues to global challenges.
Biography
Sean began his career working for the commercial fishing and seafood processing industries; these experiences consolidated his passion for working in the aquatic environment. In 2000, he received a Bachelor of Applied Science (Fisheries) from the Australian Maritime College and shortly after began working as a technical officer at the Tasmanian Inland Fisheries Service. In 2001 he transitioned to the marine realm, taking a position as a technical officer at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI). In 2004, while continuing to work fulltime as a technical officer across a broad range of projects relating to scalefish and cephalopod species, he began his PhD studies. In 2007 he was awarded his PhD and was armed with seven years of on the ground practical experience in fisheries research and a drive to transition this experience into the areas of academia and applied research for sustainable management of marine resources. At the time of completing his PhD he successfully applied for a Research Fellow position at TAFI to work on recreational fisheries research.
In 2009, Sean was seconded by the National Geographic Society to work on the 'Sea Around Us' project, an internationally prestigious project funded by the PEW charitable trust and run through the University of British Columbia. Assisting the 'Sea Around Us' project offered new career experiences through working to harmonise global fisheries catch datasets contributing a spatially referenced global estimate of catch which has been utilised in multiple high-profile papers. With continued success at TAFI/IMAS and with an impressive record of publication and success in attracting high profile research funding, Sean was selected in 2014 to join the inaugural University of Tasmania 'Group of Eight' Future Research Leaders Program.
Sean has over 190 publications since his PhD completion in 2007, including peer-reviewed publications in Nature and Nature Communications, and with most others in journals well above the median impact factor for the discipline of Fisheries Research. He has sourced >$14.3 M in research funding across his career and supervises a number of post-graduate students with diverse research topics. He actively collaborates nationally and globally on a range of fish and fisheries related projects. Sean has managed large research projects. These projects have included requirements for wide stakeholder consultation and challenging fieldwork at sea in remote locations. He has considerable experience working in trans-disciplinary settings.

Research Themes
Dr Sean Tracey's research aligns with the University's research themes - Marine, Antarctic and Maritime; Environment, Resources and Sustainability; and Data, Knowledge and Decisions.
Satellite tag technology and large pelagic fish: A fundamental assumption of catch and release recreational fishing, as well as the common management strategies of bag and possession limits, is that released fish have a high probability of survival. In many cases this is untested. Dr Tracey and his research team are using state of the art satellite tag technology to explore the behavior, migratory paths and ultimately the fate of key large pelagic fish species once they have been released after recreational capture. The research is providing fundamental insights into the efficacy of common fisheries management strategies for iconic species, including southern bluefin tuna and broadbill swordfish. By also assessing factors occurring during capture and physiological responses to these factors, the research will aid in developing responsible and sustainable recreational fishing practices whilst improving animal welfare and furthering our understanding of these ecologically and socially important species.
Global seafood futures: There are concerns that many of the world's large fisheries are over-exploited and in some areas this is true. However, there is a need to balance sustainable fisheries with the protein requirements of a global population and through careful planning and management seafood can sustainably contribute to our growing food requirements. Dr Tracey is collaborating with leading researchers from IMAS, the CSIRO and the University of Washington on an Australian Research Council Discovery Project led by Professor Reg Watson that is using historical data to minimize potential disasters and to maximize seafood opportunities by developing a model of Australia's fisheries and their response to future environmental and management change. Fisheries and seafood production are an important part of Australia's economy and future food security but are vulnerable to, and a cause of change, in critical marine environments. A range of approaches will estimate what Australia's ultimate seafood production potential is, establish the environmental providence of Australia's seafood imports vital to the domestic industry and consumers, and, add important environmental credentials to national fisheries stock assessments essential for future competitive exports.
Connectivity of Southern Rock Lobster stocks: Fisheries depend on the continual replenishment of stock removed by natural processes and fishing, hence, the recruitment of juveniles is fundamental to sustaining stocks. Despite this criticality, this is an area with the least information for most fisheries. Dr Tracey is collaborating with leading IMAS researchers on an Australian Research Council Linkage Project led by Dr Bridget Green to address this gap in the valuable southern rock lobster fishery. Recent declines in lobster recruitment across southern Australia indicate the need to understand the flow of larvae. The aim of the project is to understand the fundamental link between spawning stock and recruitment, to enable improved predictions of recruitment and management of adult stocks to maximise future recruitment, therefore safeguarding the future of this fishery.
Development and implementation of methods to assess recreational fisheries: Recreational fishing in Australia is a well-subscribed pastime, and as such has substantial biological, social and economic implications. High quality data over a range of spatial and temporal scales are critical for assessing and managing fisheries resources, promoting sustainable recreational fishing, developing and supporting the industry and understanding the contribution of recreational fishing to individuals, society and the economy. Compulsory data collection systems are in place for Australia's commercial fisheries, but detailed information on the biological, social and economic impacts of recreational fishing is lacking, particularly at the national scale. An objective of the Australian Government's Policy for a More Competitive and Sustainable Fisheries Sector (August 2013) is to conduct national recreational fishing surveys every five years. Dr Tracey is collaborating with researchers from across Australia to develop a cost-effective, repeatable framework using 'best-practice' methods for implementing these recreational surveys in Australia. Furthermore, these broad scale surveys often do not capture precise information for niche fisheries and alternate survey methods are required. Dr Tracey is a co-investigator on a Fisheries Research and Development Corporation led by ABARES to assess the national recreational catch and effort of southern bluefin tuna. This is an important component of Australia's obligations to the international management efforts to rebuild and sustainably engage with the southern bluefin tuna population. Beyond these high level projects Dr Tracey in collaboration with Dr Jeremy Lyle in regularly implementing recreational fishing surveys relevant to Tasmania at a range of spatial scales and targeting particular fisheries of ecological, social and economic importance. The methods used in these surveys have been internationally peer-reviewed and are considered 'world's best practice'.
Collaboration
Sean currently collaborates with researchers from over 13 countries and interacts with colleagues from most European Union countries through an International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Working Group. He has published international peer reviewed papers with over 135 individual co-authors from Australia and around the world.

Developing a cost-effective and novel fisheries-independent monitoring program to inform scalefish fisheries management (2024 - 2026)$370,386
- Description
- Target species of Tasmanian scalefish fisheries (TSF) remain difficult to assess and manage due to the wide range of species and variety of both commercial and recreational fisheries methods. TSF are currently assessed using commercial catch and effort data as well as age and length information. However, some key TSF species landings are increasingly greater in the recreational sector, with a comparatively low commercial catch. Therefore, due to the absence of regular and robust CPUE data, innovative fishery independent data collection programs are required to routinely monitor TSF species and provide adequate data for stock assessment models. This project will review and collate data from previous studies to design and test strategic and cost-effective novel fishery-independent survey methods that collect population dynamics data for a suite of key scalefish fisheries species, across both environmental and fishing intensity gradients in Tasmania. Outcomes will improve stock assessment methods by providing new and additional data for data-poor and undefined species, and, if proven cost-effective, establish an ongoing, long-term fishery-independent monitoring program to enhance the sustainability of TSF. Informing data-poor stock novel assessment approaches will have implications for fisheries managers making critical management decisions for depleted, depleting, and undefined TSF species.

Quantifying post-release survival of skate bycatch in the Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) Patagonian Toothfish longline fishery (2023 - 2025)$23,813
- Description
- Skates (Rajidae) are commonly taken as incidental bycatch in demersal fishing operations throughout deep waters of the Southern Ocean. Due to their life history characteristics of slow growth and late maturation, their populations are particularly vulnerable to artificial increases in mortality which can lead to localised population declines. On the Kerguelen Plateau, skates represent the most abundant bycatch of any species taken in the Patagoniantoothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline fisheries operating within adjacent Australian and French territorial waters. However, due to their deepwater, demersal existence little is known about their behavioural ecology and survival rates following release from fishing vessels. Survival of all skates released is unlikely due to injuries obtained from capture on longline hooks or due to changes in pressure as they are raised through the water column. This project aims to quantify post-release movement behaviour and survival of Bathyraja irrasa, the most commonly caught skate species in the Southern Ocean, using the latest technology in pop-up satellite tags that capture time, depth and acceleration data. This information will characterise post-release descent behaviour and the duration until active foraging behaviour or mortality for each tagged skate. By providing the first quantified estimates of post-release survival we can accurately infer total fishing mortality and support a precise population and bycatch risk assessment for this species.This proposal seeks funding for a top-up scholarship and operational costs to support a PhD candidate at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (University of Tasmania) to assist the field data collection, statistical analysis and laboratory procedures related to the project. The additional research capacity that a PhD candidate will provide to this project will ensure an on-time and in-depth analysis of post-release survival to address the management requirement for an accurate stock assessment and bycatch limit recommendations.

Capture stress and post-release survival of thresher sharks: contributing to developing best-practice for catch and release game fishing (2023)$26,555
- Description
- This study will directly examining post-release survivorship of thresher sharks (Alopias vulpinus) released by recreational game fishers and quantify physiological indicators of capture stress and relate these to capture data (e.g., shark size, fight time, SST, capture gear). Game fishing associations are keen to release these sharks upon capture and contribute to their conservation, but there is currently no data as to the survivorship of released sharks to show that this approach has merit. This study will provide such data and assist game fishers to refine their practices, such that survivorship is maximised. If the data showed, however, that the practice should not be undertaken as mortality rates are high, the results of the study would also provide the basis for the Government to review the status of the fishery.

- Description
- This project's purpose is to meet the knowledge gaps identified in relation to progressing the Recreational Fishing Strategy2021-2030. NR&E are requesting the research activities outlined in Schedule 2 of this agreement to support meeting the following actions in theRecreational Fishing Strategy 2021-2030: Flathead for the Future program - develop a sand flathead recovery plan and promote stewardship among fishers [Tasmanian Gov Status -Commenced: The Tasmanian Government has committed $250,000. Project planning is underway]. Improve the process for providing public fisheries management advice [Tas Gov Status - ongoing].Undertaking this work will build capacity for developing recreational fishing management strategies which are effective at harnessing fisher behaviourto meet both sustainability needs while optimising potential social and economic benefits.This project will involve the development of a fisher survey. To design the survey the project will review existing literature and available data on fisherpreferences and behaviour, including observations of fisher responses to changed availability of recreational opportunities.The project approach enables the future selection and design of effective social marketing approaches (e.g., from nudges through to full behaviourchange campaigns), along with the appropriate communication strategies for each segment to support the fisher actions identified to implementsustainable fisheries management.

Larval dispersal for Southern Rock Lobster and Longspined sea urchin to support management decisions (2022 - 2024)$242,861
- Description
- Larval dispersal patterns for Southern Rock Lobster, Jasus edwardsii, and Long-spined sea urchin, Centrostephanus rodgersii, remain poorly understood. Understanding spatial dispersal patterns is essential for spatial management of these species. Likewise, inter-annual variability in dispersal can lead to low lobster recruitment with large fishery consequences whilst increases in larval dispersal may be responsible for the establishment of Long-spined sea urchin in Tasmania.*Our objectives are:*Update/develop source/sink connectivity matrices to include contemporary oceanographic models and realistic biological parameterisation.*Combine connectivity matrix with knowledge of egg production in different areas to give an understanding of the magnitude of larval flow and identify key source areas for Southern Rock Lobster and Long-spined sea urchin larvae.*Determine impact of high recruitment events on Long-spined sea urchin populations in Tasmania and the likelihood of self-recruitment and incursion to the south west of Tasmania with various population growth and climate change scenarios.*Investigate various management options for Southern Rock Lobster and Long-spined sea urchin utilising outcomes from Objective 2 and Objective 3.

Tuna Champions v2.0 Bluefin and beyond (2022 - 2024)$800,000
- Description
- Stewardship is a recognised component of improving societal practices across a range of areas. Improving stewardship through knowledge brokeringhas great potential to complement and enhance regulatory initiatives designed to protect ecosystem function through sustainable resourcemanagement. The strength of stewardship over regulatory initiatives is the genuine drive of individuals to contribute to improved societal normsthrough a learned and shared understanding of the benefits of the activity that is being advocated for. On the other hand, regulatory approaches canbe met with a degree of scepticism and resistance due to a lack of understanding of the purpose of the regulations and a natural resistance of being'told what to do'.Pathways to successful stewardship are deeply embedded in understanding the human psyche and well-established behavioural science theories havebeen put forward to address this. Applying the core principles of these theories often occurs innately through society as they are born out of ourhuman nature and developed cognitive processes but understanding how to apply these theories provides a powerful tool to maximise the efficiencyof developing stewardship.The Tuna Champions program was born out of the FRDC project 2017-123: The role of the recreational fisher in the stewardship of the SouthernBluefin Tuna (SBT) fishery. It had the explicit goal of affecting behavioural change in the recreational SBT fishery by improving stewardship in thefishery by educating fishers on science-based 'best practice' for both the release of caught fish and the harvesting of fish retained for consumption. It isnot about directly affecting the sustainability of the fishery (although there are small benefits through reduced wastage of fish), rather it is aboutincreasing accountability of fishers to 'do the right thing' and encourage their fellow fishers to do the same.The program was established on a sound framework encompassing both behavioural science and marketing strategies. Behavioural change is driventhrough 'nudging', a theory born out of behavioural economics, political theory and behavioural sciences that uses positive reinforcement and indirectsuggestion to influence behaviour of groups or individuals, in this case the community of fishers that target SBT. Through the course of time thenudging strategy is adopted by the community as they increase their knowledge on why improved practices are beneficial and they begin to organicallyperpetuate through the community as they encourage each other to improve their practices. This then creates a snowball of momentum whereby thebehavioural change occurs, and stewardship increases.The program has been hugely successful with almost a third of all SBT fishers aware of the program after it had been running for 20-months, muchhigher for the most avid fishers (63%) as assessed in 2019 as part of the National recreational fishing survey of SBT. Even more encouraging was theevidence of behavioural change with between 10 and 25% of respondents that had heard about the program indicated that they had improved variouspractices relating to the retention and release of SBT. Anecdotal reports and testimonial from those within the SBT recreational community suggestthat these percentages have likely increased since that time.During the initial conceptual steering committee meeting of the Tuna Champions program it was identified, and supported by marketing specialists, tofocus on a single species, in this case the SBT. If this was done well, it would minimise dilution of the messaging and improve the uptake andmomentum of increased stewardship in that particular fishery. It was noted however that the messages would likely 'spill over' into other species,particularly other tuna species as the practices being promoted were applicable to them. Then further, that the messaging and recognition of the valueof stewardship as it relates to

FLOPPED Finding Large Oceanic Pelagic Predators Environmental Distribution (2021 - 2022)$38,968
- Description
- "The identification of spawning and nursery habitats for marine species is essential to define management measures. Indeed, it is during these younger stages that most natural mortality occurs. In the case of billfish (swordfish, marlin, sailfish), larval survival is particularly critical as these species have high fecundity (tens of millions of eggs per female) and thus small variations in larval survival will have a significant impact on the abundance of the next cohort. As part of the management of billfish species, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) has established research priorities to ensure the sustainable exploitation of these species. Among these priorities, the identification of breeding areas and seasons has been defined as a high priority. Indeed, to date, no information is available on this subject for the three species of marlin (blue, Makaira nigricans, black, Makaira indica and striped, Tetrapturus audax) and sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) and some areas have been identified for swordfish (Xiphias gladius) following IFREMER projects in the southwest Indian Ocean (IOSSS, Palangere Fisheries Programme).The stock status of these resources is worrying: marlin and sailfish are overfished and black and striped marlin are also overexploited. However, management measures are difficult to take because these species are by-catch for fisheries targeting tuna or swordfish. Swordfish is approaching a situation of overfishing but is currently neither overfished nor overexploited. The FLOPPED project has 2 objectives: 1/ to provide scientific knowledge on the spawning grounds of billfish (i.e., swordfish, marlins, sailfish) at the scale of the Indian Ocean; 2/ estimate the abundance of spawners in the different breeding areas.A multidisciplinary approach including physiology, genetics, tagging and modeling approaches will be used to achieve these objectives with a partnership of different research organizations and professionals. For tagging activities, 100 satellite tags are planned to be deployed on billfish in the Indian Ocean to investigate their migration pattern, and find their locations during the spawning season."IMAS' role will be to deploy 20 pop-up satellite tags and collect genetic and biological samples on/from a range of billfish species off the coast of Western Australia.

The emerging billfish fishing grounds of northern Australia: fisheries description, movements, and hot-spots (2021 - 2025)$442,416
- Description
- There is a need to increase economic growth of environmentally sustainable industries in northern Australia and this project aims to increaserecreational billfish fisheries tourism and facilitate management of this emerging resource. The tourism industry in Australia including recreationalfisheries and associated travel sectors have been severely impacted due to Covid-19. With an estimated economic value of $3185AUD per charterfishing trip, recreational billfish fisheries represent a high-value and sustainable option to help develop post-Covid-19 fisheries tourism in northernAustralia.There is an emerging recreational billfish fishery in Northern Territory waters but growth, participation and management of a sustainable fishery hasbeen hampered by a lack of data and public awareness. Anecdotal evidence suggests that a recent increase in catches of sailfish and black marlin inwaters off northern Australia may have been facilitated by the closure of Taiwanese Gillnet fisheries which operated in Australian waters between1972 and 1986. However, there has been little scientific evaluation of past or current billfish fisheries resources in the region, and better qualityfisheries data and information on the spatial distribution and seasonal movement patterns are required to guide development and management ofsustainable fisheries. The catch-and-release billfish fisheries of northern Australia are likely to be sustainable but stocks are likely to be affected byfisheries in the broader Indo-Pacific region and further information is needed to inform assessments as part of the Status of Australian Fish StocksReport. As is this a developing fishery there is a need to form a ground up educational programs on the best practices for responsible handling ofbillfish in the NT recreational fishery.Note this project is led by Dr Keller Kopf from Charles Darwin University.

Identifying biological stocks of Silver Trevally and Ocean Jackets for assessment and management (2021 - 2023)$458,203
- Description
- This application is required primarily to address the needs of FRDC and the SAFS advisory group to resolve stock uncertainty for two priority speciesacross their national distributions, being Silver Trevally and Ocean Jackets.The results will inform future SAFS assessments that will ideally be done at the biological stock level. In addition, understanding appropriate scales forassessment and management will benefit future collaborative research, stock assessments and management arrangements. In particular, SilverTrevally in eastern Australia is recognized as being Depleted in NSW waters, yet if there is a single biological stock also being fished by neighbouringjurisdictions (for example the Commonwealth fisheries) there will need to be improved collaboration in terms of stock assessment and management torecover the stock.All relevant jurisdictions have identified the need to resolve stock structure of Silver Trevally and Ocean Jackets as they are important to commercialand recreational fisheries across their distributions.Note this project is led by Dr John Stewart from NSW DPI. Assoc. Professor Sean Tracey and Dr. Nils Krueck has been invited on as a co-investigator. Theproject has been approved by FRDC for a total Funding request of $458,203.

Developing a cost-effective monitoring regime and stock assessment for Sand Flathead in Tasmania (2020 - 2025)$703,700
- Description
- Sand Flathead account for well over half of the total catch (by numbers) taken by marine recreational fishersin Tasmania and represent the mainstay of Tasmania's recreational fishery. Furthermore, since therecreational catch of sand flathead is more than 20 times the commercial catch, trends in commercial catchand catch rates are of little value in inferring changes in stock status. This has meant that fishery independentor novel assessment methods are required. To date, IMAS has implemented a research program focused onsand flathead in the south-east of the state that provides a spatially restricted, perspective and semiquantitativeevaluation of stock condition. Given the significance of the species and a status of 'depleting' inthe latest stock assessment report, there is a need to implement a more comprehensive stock monitoringapproach throughout the state that can support the development of a spatially explicit quantitative stockassessment model. There is also a need to determine the appropriate spatial resolution to apply to the stockassessment model. As such, there is a need to understand the extent of adult movement and ontogeneticconnectivity of regional sub-populations of sand flathead throughout Tasmania. In addition, by collation ofbiological data sets from historical studies and surveys conducted around Tasmania the extent and directionof potential changes in population size structures, and life history characteristics will be investigated. Wherepossible collated biological data will be used to assess spatial and temporal changes in life historycharacteristics to assess the implications of selective excessive fishing pressure and/or past and futureclimate change effects for this species.

Modelling fine-scale larval dispersal for Centrostephanus rodgersii (2019)$25,000
- Description
- We know that Centrostephanus rodgersii sea urchins have most likely arrived to the east coast of Tasmania from NSW and Victoria via larval transport in the East Australian Current. However, we do not have a solid understanding of how often large recruitment events are likely to occur and which particular reefs are the greatest probable supply/source of larvae to Tasmania. We aim to develop a larval dispersal model for Centro based on an existing dispersal model, combining coarse-scale current simulations ofthe CONNIE model with fine-scale resolution of the Southeast Tasmanian model, and estimates of the biology and vertical behaviour of Centro larvae (communication with and publications from Maria Byrne). Using this model, we can input various scenarios of climate change to predict changes in recruitment pulses and the likelihood of the Tasmanian population producing viable self-recruits.

Mechanisms and consequences of a climate-driven range extension of snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) in southeast Australia (2019 - 2020)$33,666
- Description
- This research will investigate the ecological consequences of climate-driven marine species range shifts. Globally, species are shifting poleward with rising temperatures, which has critical impacts on ecosystems and humans that depend on them. A key focus of climate change biology is understanding and predicting the consequences of ongoing and future range shifts. However, attempts to date to understand and predict effects of range shifts have been hindered by the scalability of laboratory studies and a lack of mechanistic insight from field observational studies. Using the contemporary range extension of snapper Chrysophrys auratus in the south-east Australian 'ocean warming hotspot' as a case study we are investigating: (1)Which mechanisms underpin range extensions (e.g. thermal tolerance, reproduction and migration)?(2)What are the resulting consequences (e.g. altered growth rates, ecosystem impacts)?

Opportunities and impacts of range extending scalefish species: understanding population dynamics, ecosystem impacts and management needs (2019 - 2020)$249,587
- Description
- Species-level responses to ocean warming is a priority research area as they underpin the structure and function of marine ecosystems and the productivity of fisheries that operate within them.There are a number of range extending species that have become increasingly abundant in Tasmanian waters, providing new fishing opportunities for recreational and, to a lesser extent, commercial fishers. Species in this group include Pink Snapper, King George Whiting and Yellowtail Kingfish. While King George Whiting are known to spawn off the north coast it is unclear as to whether the other species have or are likely to become established as self-sustaining populations in Tasmanian waters or simply persist as spill-over from populations that are centered off mainland Australia. If the former is the case, it will be especially important to consider population attributes such as growth, mortality and reproductive dynamics relevant to the Tasmanian populations when developing and refining management arrangements.In addition, the broader ecosystem impacts of such range extending species, including competition with species at similar trophic levels, are unknown but could have consequences for other recreationally and commercially important species. Understanding these relationships will have benefits for the assessment and management of the Tasmanian recreational fishery more generally.

Assess new technologies and techniques that could improve the cost-effectiveness and robustness of recreational fishing surveys (2018)$38,370
- Description
- Currently, the most significant gap in our knowledge in assessing the status of community-shared fisheries isdetermining the relative contribution by the recreational sector. In Australia, this sector's total harvest hasbeen evaluated through traditional methods that include phone-diary and on-site creel surveys, and althoughthey adopt a standardised methodology, resulting estimates of catch and effort often have wide errorvariances. For key species there is a need to reduce these error variances to get more accurate estimates ofrecreational catch, especially when the recreational contribution is considered significant (i.e. King GeorgeWhiting and Snapper). For some jurisdictions (such as South Australia), these estimates have importantramifications, as they are used to determine shares against prescribed allocations that underpin resourcemanagement. Although these recreational fishing surveys are considered to adopt world's best practice theresults are often viewed with a high level of skepticism amongst stakeholders and lead to counter-productiveco-management discussions. Typically, it is the stakeholders lack of understanding of the survey thatundermines the process, highlighting the need to effectively engage and educate the sectors in how resourceshares are managed.Objectives 1 Identify options to improve the precision and cost-effectiveness of recreational fishing surveys2 Identify strategies that positively engage the recreational sector in fisheries science and management.3 Assess whether emerging surveillance technology can be feasibly integrated into future surveys.

Where do Calamari spawn in Northern Tasmania and how will this information aid the management of the Calamari fishery in Northern Tasmania? (2016 - 2019)$169,493
- Description
- Calamari, like most cephalopods, are highly productive, however there short lifespan means that it is vitally important that they are allowed to spawn successfully as there is only ever a single cohort within the fishery. The north coast calamari fishery is expanding in terms of catch and effort by both the commercial and recreational sectors and there is no mechanism to prevent further expansion by either sector. There is currently no understanding of spatial or temporal variation in spawning in this region and environmental conditions are vastly different to the south east. The impacts of the expansion on the productivity of the species is unknown and thus, there is no information available to predict the possible impact of further expansion, which is likely to occur in both the recreational and commercial sectors. The calamari fishery is increasing in value and overexpansion in this fishery is likely to have negative economic ramifications for the fishery due to both overcapacity and decreased productivity.

Climate-driven range shifts in fishes and the impacts on temperate marine ecosystems (2016 - 2018)$18,330
- Description
- How individual species respond to rising water temperature is a primary determinant of changing species' distributions. Species-level responses to climate change underpin the structure and function of marine ecosystems, and the fisheries that operate within them. However, the rate and magnitude of species range extensions is highly variable and we have only a fledgling understanding of species-level factors that can help to explain range extensions in warming oceans. South-east Australia is internationally recognised as an ocean warming hotspot, and thus offers and ideal natural laboratory in which to investigate species-level responses to climate change. The research proposed here will investigate climate change impacts on two iconic marine fishes, yellowtail kingfish and pink snapper, which have contrasting life history strategies and have recently been identified to have extended their historic range into Tasmanian waters in response to ocean warming in this area. This project will develop species-level understanding of climate change impacts, significantly improving our ability to provide advice relevant to the strategic management of these valuable natural resources.

Population connectivity of shark and ray species in the Pacific Ocean (2015 - 2016)$10,000
- Description
- In collaboration with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), this PhD project will identify the stock structure and connectivity for a number of threatened sharks and rays between Australia, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. If a high degree of connectivity is identified, fishing pressure from less regulated Indo-Pacific countries may have significant effects on Australian shark and ray populations. This Holsworth grant will contribute to the study of two of the most endangered elasmobranch species in the region; the Narrow Sawfish (Anoxypristis cuspidata) and Scalloped Hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini). The number of sawfish and hammerheads are declining globally (Compagno et al2005), with Australian waters considered the last strong hold for both iconic species (Devitt et al. 2015; Harry et al. 2011). While sawfish and hammerheads are protected in Australia, both are disproportionately impacted by Indo-Pacific fisheries outside Australian waters. In its first year, this study will investigate if Australian populations of the Narrow Sawfish and Scalloped Hammerhead are shared with neighbouring countries using a combination of well-established and cutting-edge genetic techniques. Use of a multi-marker approach allows historic and contemporary stock boundaries to be described therefore providing valuable information for fisheries managers. Population connectivity between nations with vastly different fisheries and conservation management priorities can pose a serious threat to the resilience of shark and ray species. Moreover, the removal of apex predators can have disastrous effects on local marine biodiversity. It is crucial to identify such factors in order to develop sustainable fishing practises for national and international interests. In association with ACIAR, this project will help educate and improve the current management policy of the shark and ray fishery in PNG by working alongside the National Fisheries Authority (NFA). Resolving issues of overfishing in neighbouring Pacific Islands will have positive and lasting effects for shark and ray populations protected in Australia.

- This project will develop and test methodologies to provide a national estimate of the recreational catch of southern bluefin tuna (SBT). It will design a cost-effective program to regularly collect, analyse and report on recreational SBT catches and associated fishing activities. The project will assess a range of recreational fishing survey methodologies and review existing state based survey data on the recreational harvest of SBT to determine methods appropriate to assess the recreational harvest of SBT at a national level.

Fishing for change: enhancing Australia's seafood futures (2014 - 2016)$223,142
- Description
- Seafood production is an important part of Australia's economy and future food security. In a dual relationship, fisheries are both vulnerable to and a cause of changes in the marine environment. The project will identify the maximum limits to Australian seafood production and determine the impacts of future perturbations. To achieve this, it will: 1) combine existing rich historical data sources with state-of-the art ecosystem and fisheries models; 2) analyse environmental impacts that will complement national fisheries stock assessments that are essential for future competitive exports; and 3) determine our growing seafood imports and their role in Australia's and the world's food security.

Understanding the stock-recruitment relationship to reverse the decline in the southern rock lobster. (2012 - 2015)$924,779
- Description
- The recruitment of juveniles is fundamental to the continual replenishment of fishery stocks removed by natural processes and fishing. This project will draw on recent developments in genetic and oceanographic tools to determine the scale of the stock-recruitment relationship in the valuable but declining southern rock lobster fisheries. The aim is to identify strategies for rebuilding and managing stocks that have naturally fluctuating recruitment, and to establish optimal locations to target rebuilding.
