CSIRO/Industry Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF) Banana Prawn Sampling 1983 - 1986

공공데이터포털

This dataset was collected to calculate optimal seasonal opening dates for the commercial fishery and to provide other management advice, by undertaking size sampling of pre-season and in-season banana prawns (F. merguiensis and F. indicus). In-season sampling of commercial catch on commercial trawlers (1983 - 1985) was supplemented during the season by data obtained from quality control staff at KFV Fisheries Pty Ltd. Sampling was organized for pre- and in-season searching and sampling voyages and prawns were sampled and measured from as many trawlers as possible.

CSIRO Commercial Factory Prawn Catch Sampling in the Gulf of Carpentaria - 1979 - 1991

공공데이터포털

This dataset was collected mainly to provide banana prawn length-frequency data by undertaking size sampling of commercial catches of banana prawns (P merguiensis). The aim was to calculate optimal seasonal opening dates for the commercial fishery and to provide other management advice. Length-frequency data for other prawn species was also provided.

The growth, mortality, movement and nursery habitats of red-legged banana prawns (Penaeus indicus) in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf.

공공데이터포털

In 1997 and 1998, we tagged and released 18013 red-legged banana prawns in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. The location of recaptures was documented for 916 tagged prawns in 1997 and 512 tagged prawns in 1998. Tag recapture information and commercial fishery logbook information was used to test whether red-legged banana prawns moved continuously to deeper waters or whether they moved first to deep water but then returned to shallower waters. The analysis is based on compartment models of recaptures per unit of fishing effort.

Tropical Prawn Project Prawn Trawl Data c1975-1979 (Redfield Data)

공공데이터포털

Prawn trawl data from Weipa, East and South East Gulf of Carpentaria in the late 1970s. The main objective was to ascertain the distribution and abundance of each of the main commercial and some non-commercial penaeid species. The main data collection was performed off the Judy B with cruises repeated every month for 13 months; some other vessels were involved at different times (Kalinda, Raptis Pearl, Sprightly). Trawling was conducted at night and consisting of 30 minute shots. All prawns were sorted by species (general codes used) and sex, but no weights were recorded. Catch rates were expressed as number of prawns caught per net per hour. There were more than four sampling plans.

Munro Prawn Surveys - SE Gulf of Carpentaria 1963-1965

공공데이터포털

This dataset series comprises deck logs from the vessel "Rama" in which observations made during the Gulf of Carpentaria Prawn Survey are recorded. This survey was conducted jointly by the Queensland State and Commonwealth Governments during 1963-1965 to examine the prawn resources of the south-eastern corner of the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Food Webs of Prawns in Tropical Systems Dataset 1991-1995

공공데이터포털

Two mangrove sites and two seagrass sites were sampled in each region of the Gulf of Carpentaria; Weipa (between 1991 and 1994) and Groote Eylandt (between 1994 and 1995). The stable isotope ratios of seagrass, mangroves and prawns were measured, and the contribution of mangroves and seagrass to prawn food webs was estimated.

Prawn Recolonisation Data, Gulf of Carpentaria 1984-1995

공공데이터포털

Juvenile prawn samples were collected by beam trawl at a number of sites between the Vanderlin Islands and Rose River (Numbulwar), Gulf of Carpentaria, to investigate the recolonisation of sand and seagrass habitats following Cyclone Sandy.

Embley River Enclosure Data 1993-1994

공공데이터포털

Juvenile tiger prawns were collected by beam trawl in the Embley River, Gulf of Carpentaria in October 1993, March 1994 and October/November 1994. The following parameters were measured: prawn numbers, carapace length, species, seagrass, biomass, salinity, temperature and depth. Field experiments were carried out using enclosure nets.

CSIRO / Industry-trained crew catch sampling at sea of prawns in the Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF) 1988-1990

공공데이터포털

This data was collected to obtain base information for prawn management advice. Data were collated by 6 nm grid squares species, sex and size distribution (carapace length) of prawns in the commercial catch 1988 - 1990 inclusive. Also collated were turtle distribution in catches in 1989. All samples were taken and processed by CSIRO trained commercial trawl boat crews and presumably all samples were taken from areas of high abundance at that time. The fishing times over this period were 15 April to 22 June and about 1 August to 30 November.

Munro Prawn Surveys - Fish Records - SE Gulf of Carpentaria 1963-1965

공공데이터포털

This dataset series comprises fish species composition data collected during the survey conducted jointly by the Queensland State and Commonwealth Governments during 1963-1965 to examine the prawn resources of the south-eastern corner of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Aubrey Harris retrieved the data from Rainer and Munro c.1984 - and it was used by Aubrey Harris and Ian Poiner for analysis for their paper (Harris, A. N. M. and Poiner, I. R. (1991)).
