Mesozooplankton community composition and structure were examined throughout the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon Estuary and North West Bay, Tasmania, from November 2004 to October 2005, the data represented by this record was collected on the 07/12/2004 The composition of the mesozooplankton community was typical of inshore, temperate marine habitats, with seasonally higher abundance in summer and autumn and lower numbers in winter and spring. Copepods were the largest contributors to total abundance across all seasons and stations, while cladocerans and appendicularians were proportionally abundant in spring and summer. The faecal pellets of these three main groups, along with those of krill and amphipods, also contributed significantly to material recovered from sediment traps. Meroplanktonic larvae of benthic animals showed short-term peaks in abundance and were often absent from the water column for long periods. Spatially, North West Bay and the Channel had a higher representation of typically marine species, including Calanus australis and Labidocera cervi, while truly estuarine species, such as the copepod Gladioferens pectinatus, were more important in the Huon Estuary.

Responding to COVID-19 - Australian fisheries and aquaculture key stakeholder interview data 2022-23
The resource contains summary data from 30 interviews undertaken of key stakeholders in Australia's fisheries and aquaculture sectors in 2022-23. Participants included officers in management agencies, sector representative bodies, research agencies as well as operators of small and large seafood firms involved in production and/or post-harvest or retailing of Australian-produced seafood. Participants are not identified. Interview topics covered the experiences of those interviewed on the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruptions it caused their sectors of Australia's fisheries and aquaculture, as well as their observations of what are barriers and enablers of better preparedness to future disruptions. Topics included: Types of disruptions experienced (B); Responses (C); and Barriers and enablers to better future preparedness. The interview data was summarised using Microsoft Co-pilot using prompts to summarise responses to an individual question. The research was undertaken under University of Tasmania’s Human Research Ethics Committee approval (ref. H27649). The full research project report is available here: https://www.frdc.com.au/project/2021-042.

This report presents the economic contribution of seven (7) key fisheries and aquaculture sectors, inclusive of processing, to the Tasmanian economy for the 2022/23 financial year: - Tasmanian Rock Lobster Fishery; - Tasmanian Dive Sector (Abalone Fishery, Commercial Dive Fishery); - Tasmanian Scalefish Fishery; - Tasmanian Salmonid Aquaculture; - Tasmanian Pacific Oyster Aquaculture; and - Tasmanian Abalone Aquaculture. It also reports previously published contributions for six (6) fisheries and aquaculture sectors (Tasmanian Rock Lobster Fishery; Tasmanian Abalone Fishery; Tasmanian Scalefish Fishery; Tasmanian Salmonid Aquaculture; Tasmanian Pacific Oyster Aquaculture; and Tasmanian Abalone Aquaculture), exclusive of processing, to the Tasmanian economy for the 2020/21 and 2018/19 financial years: The economic contribution of these fisheries and aquaculture sectors are measured through the following indicators: - Gross Value Added (GVA) - Contribution to Household Income - Number of persons employed - Contribution to the total full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce The work was undertaken by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania in collaboration with BDO and builds on the foundations and approach set out in 2017/18 National Fisheries and Aquaculture Industry Contributions Study (FRDC 2017-210). To generate the values for the indicators listed above, the framework recommended in Australian Fisheries and Aquaculture Industry: Economic Contributions Estimates - Practitioner Guidelines 2019 (IMAS 2020) was applied. For the analysis in this report, the contribution of immediate processing or farm gate retail activity is not included. The estimates are based on the best available information at the time of writing and apply input-output modelling (developed by BDO) that uses the economic profiles and conversion to basic prices as provided by IMAS. The study was conducted to contribute to the measuring and monitoring of the contribution of Tasmania’s seafood production activities to the economic prosperity and wellbeing of Tasmanians. This dataset includes the economic contribution of seafood processing for the 2022/23 year.
