There is a growing awareness of the impacts of fisheries on the marine ecosystem and the need for ecosystem-based fisheries management. Fisheries, particularly export fisheries, are increasingly being required to show that they are ecologically sustainable. A prime objective of the current management plan for the Victorian abalone fishery is to for...
We conducted a before-after-control-impact (BACI) experiment to evaluate the effects of deploying small-scale artificial patch reefs on fish assemblages in a temperate bay (Port Phillip Bay) in south-eastern Australia. Three replicate artificial reef treatments were placed on sandy substratum and the response of the fish assemblage was compared wit...
Building trust in science and evidence-based decision-making depends heavily on the credibility of studies and their findings. Researchers employ many different study designs that vary in their risk of bias to evaluate the true effect of interventions or impacts. Here, we empirically quantify, on a large scale, the prevalence of different study des...
The common or weedy seadragon, Phyllopteryx taeniolatus, is an iconic and endemic fish found across temperate reefs of southern Australia. Despite its charismatic nature, few studies have been published, and the extent of population sub-structuring remains poorly resolved. Here we used 7462 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify the ext...
Sea urchin populations on temperate rocky reefs act as habitat modifiers exerting strong influence on marine algal communities. They also support productive fisheries that supply roe to predominantly Asian markets.
In south‐eastern Australia urchins occur in the same habitats as abalone. In recent years, increased densities of urchins on some reef...
Delineation of population structure (i.e. stocks) is crucial to successfully manage exploited species and to address conservation concerns for threatened species. Fish migration and associated movements are key mechanisms through which discrete populations mix and are thus important determinants of population structure. Detailed information on fish...
