The Aquatic Resources Monitoring and Modelling stream perform research that enables the effective, efficient and
sustainable management of Australia's AQUATIC resources.
The research encompasses marine, riverine, estuarine and coastal areas. The stream has extensive expertise in:
-
Fisheries management
-
Marine and environmental statistics
-
Population modelling
-
Stock assessment
-
Marine harvest strategies
-
Catch prediction
-
Spatial design and analysis
-
Experimental design
-

The objectives of Aquatic Resources Monitoring and Modelling are to develop methodologies required to assess, protect,
enhance and develop
Australia’s extensive aquatic assets and marine resources,
and the key industries that rely upon them.
The specific
research objectives are:
- Fishery
sustainability – to develop new stock assessment and stock monitoring
techniques so they better incorporate uncertainty, they operate at a wider
range of spatial and temporal scales, they accommodate multiple target
species and achieve economic sustainability while protecting the
ecosystems that nurture and support them.
- Marine,
coastal, estuarine, fluvial and riparian ecosystem sustainability –
to produce new and innovative methods or method combinations relying on
sophisticated modern statistical techniques that will allow rapid and
effective ecosystem mapping and monitoring.
- Healthy river basins, estuarine waterways and coastal systems –
to develop and
implement techniques for integrating data at multiple spatial and temporal
scales, in particular biological, physical and chemical data used for
environmental indicators.
