| Description: | The project will conduct a preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of low-powered, low-cost lasers for deterring seabirds at-sea. Initial trials will be conducted at night-time on a CSIRO research vessel using low-powered multiple single-beam lasers that will emit a ‘light curtain’ to cover an attractant and deter seabirds. |

Little | Our sampling protocol is driven by the effects that we have hypothesised to explain apparent trends in fish abundance. These impacts include changes that have occurred to the benthic habitat (H1: habitat modification hypothesis), changing food webs (H2: habitat hypothesis); water column (H3: climate hypothesis), and fishery catch. They are not independent of each other and can operate either directly on the species or indirectly through the supporting habitats and associated trophic systems. |
