Elemental analysis of the vertebrae of a small shark to investigate ecology and develop a novel approach to validating the age of sharks: aiding in the conservation and management of shark populations (2016 - 2017)$17,700
- Description
- The purpose of this study is to assess the potential of using vertebral microchemistry in age validation and, if successful, to assess the use of vertebrae as an appropriate ageing structure for the spiny dogfish.

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.
