The Australian fish chorus catalogue (2005–2023) Open
Biological sources are significant contributors to aquatic soundscapes. Soniferous fish can dominate the soundscape in certain locations, at specific times and frequencies, particularly during the production of choruses. Passive acoustic m…

Eastern king prawn Penaeus plebejus stock enhancement—Genetic evidence that hatchery bred prawns have survived in the wild after release Open
Eastern king prawn ( Penaeus plebejus ) is endemic to eastern Australia and is of high commercial and recreational value. As part of a recreational fisheries enhancement initiative, hatchery reared juveniles from Queensland were released i…

Out of the shadows: automatic fish detection from acoustic cameras Open
Efficacious monitoring of fish stocks is critical for efficient management. Multibeam acoustic cameras, that use sound-reflectance to generate moving pictures, provide an important alternative to traditional video-based methods that are in…

Dispersal of yellowtail kingfish (<i>Seriola lalandi</i>) from a coastal embayment following a recreational fisheries enhancement stocking program: attempts to integrate aquaculture and habitat-based initiatives Open
Fisheries enhancement initiatives including marine stocking and artificial reef deployments are becoming increasingly common in many parts of the world. Combining the two by releasing hatchery reared fish onto artificial reefs is used in s…

Artificial reefs in the Anthropocene: a review of geographical and historical trends in their design, purpose, and monitoring Open
The long history of artificial reefs has stimulated diversity in their physical properties and deployment for a range of purposes. A systematic literature search yielded 804 scientific publications on artificial reefs. A database of their …

The Trophic Basis of Fish Assemblages in Temperate Estuarine and Coastal Ecosystems Open
More than half of the fish biomass of coastal rocky reefs depends on zooplankton; however, the trophic basis of estuarine fish assemblages remains unknown. We quantified the trophic basis (i.e. basal energy sources) of fish community bioma…

Receiver tilt: a scourge for aquatic telemetry or useful predictor variable Open
Background Water current data can be a useful predictor variable to include in acoustic telemetry studies given its link to changes in fish behaviour. While there are a range of sensors which can measure currents, they are often expensive …

Isolation predicts compositional change after discrete disturbances in a global meta‐study Open
Globally, anthropogenic disturbances are occurring at unprecedented rates and over extensive spatial and temporal scales. Human activities also affect natural disturbances, prompting shifts in their timing and intensities. Thus, there is a…

Feels like home: homing of mature large-bodied fish following translocation from a power-station canal Open
Fish translocation is a common method of conservation and fisheries enhancement. Monitoring post-translocation movements and migration provides useful information to inform translocation strategies. Three species of large-bodied fish (Yell…
