North West Shelf Joint Environmental Management Study:InVitro Inputs - Fin fish population dynamics

Fish population dynamics are represented by age-structured models that account for reproduction, natural mortality and fishing mortality. These models are calibrated for the major species groups and are detailed in Sections 3 and 15 in the companion model specification report (Gray et al. 2006). The selection of the parameters for each species was done by running the historical period of the model over a range of values of these parameters, and comparing the initial biomass of the simulation to a range of species biomass that was thought to occur in nature. Parameters were selected at three levels within this range of biomass to give the optimistic, base-case and pessimistic specifications.

Assessing the vulnerability of Torres Strait fisheries and supporting habitats to climate change 2013

This study assessed the relative vulnerability of Torres Strait fisheries by conducting a vulnerability assessment on 15 key fishery species. A structured semi-quantitative approach for the vulnerability assessments was applied, based on a widely-adopted framework that includes the elements of Exposure, Sensitivity and Adaptive Capacity proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 
The assessments were informed by comprehensive literature reviews of Torres Strait climate (observed and projected), key fishery habitats and their vulnerability to climate change, and species reviews for 10 fishery groups that covered fishery characteristics, species life cycles and sensitivity to environmental changes. The assessments were further informed by results of interviews with Torres Strait Islanders.
The results of the vulnerability assessments identified species with high, medium and low relative vulnerability to climate change. The species identified as having the highest relative vulnerability were: black teatfish, black-lipped pearl oyster, dugong, and trochus. When vulnerability was combined with the level of importance of each species to fisheries in Torres Strait (using a measure of cultural and economic value), a priority list of five species was identified for future action by management. These species were: dugong, turtle, tropical rock lobster, trochus and gold-lipped pearl oyster.
This project concludes that there are a number of environmental changes that will be experienced in the Torres Strait by 2030, including habitat impacts that will have flow-on effects on a number of key fisheries. The main drivers are likely to be increases in sea surface temperature, increased severity of storms, and habitat changes particularly to coral reefs and seagrass meadows. The report also provides a range of recommendations on future actions and research that should arise from this project. These are grouped into three themes: (1) improving assessment accuracy, (2) extension of results to communities and decision-makers, and (3) research to address key knowledge gaps.

NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) images - Continental Australia, 1991 -

Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images from Feb. 1991 have been compiled by processing and compositing AVHRR data from the Alice Springs receiving station to a nominal 1km resolution. The NDVI equation produces values in the range of -1.0 to 1.0, where increasing positive values indicate increasing green vegetation and negative values indicate nonvegetated surface features such as water, barren land, ice, and snow or clouds. Each image is compiled from AVHRR data collected over a fortnight.

REH200901 - FV Rehua Biological Data

Biological data collected by FV Rehua during the transit from NZ to Devonport.  Samples were collected with  MIDOC net  fitted to commercial trawl nets.  In June 2009 scientific sampling of the Tasman Sea micronekton was carried out from a 65 metre factory freezer vessel, the FV Rehua, The voyage took place from Nelson New Zealand on the 17th 2009 June arriving in Devonport (Tasmania), Australia on the 22th June 2009. During the five day transit the vessel was under charter from Petuna Sealord to CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research for a total of 24 hrs. The charter time was approximately divided into eight three-hour deep-water deployments that formed three sets of day/night experiments.
Three main sampling instruments were used:
(1)  Sampling of micronekton (primarily biota &lt; 20 cm) was made from 1000 m depth to the surface in 5 sets of equally spaced (200 metre) strata using a fine-mesh multiple opening closing net system (MIDOC). This system was fitted to either the vessel's midwater or demersal commercial net. 
(2)  The digitised return signal from the vessel's 38 kHz Simrad ES60 echosounder was logged for the duration of the voyage. This will allow us to map the along-transect acoustic reflectivity at 38 kHz of the Tasman Sea basin from the surface down to 1500 metres. 
(3) An Acoustic-Optically System (AOS) was attached to the headline of the demersal net to measure the acoustic reflectivity of individual biota at two frequencies (38 and 120 kHz) and record concurrent optical images using digital SLR still cameras and PAL video system. The AOS was deployed vertically down to 1000 metres depths on two occasions. On four occasions it was attached to the headline of the demersal net that had been fitted with the MIDOC cod-end.
