Project details
| Title: | Conservation assessment of sawfish and Glyphis species |
| Id: | 2160 |
| Acronym: | Conservation assessment of Glyphis |
| Investigator(s): | John Stevens
CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere - Hobart [details] |
| Description: | Shark research is an integral part of the science plan for the Northern Fisheries and Ecosystems group. Research following on from the current FRDC project: Northern Australian Sharks and Rays: the sustainability of target and bycatch species, phase 2 (FRDC 2002/064), will focus primarily on sawfish and Glyphis due to their conservation significance and fishery mitigation measures that will be required by the ESD initiatives of Commonwealth and State fisheries. Undertaking this desktop study/field research will provide new biological data and will ensure that CSIRO is well positioned for future FRDC funding opportunities in this regard. The project also has close links with the FRDC NPF bycatch projects and with the ACIAR sharks and rays project. It falls within the NFE focus area in the GOC and is core business. |
