Current Research Interests

Fisheries Management.

Management of renewable natural resources, particularly management of commercial, recreational and charter boat fisheries with particular emphasis on integration of socio-economic and biological approaches to management and development of performance indicators.

Ecology and Conservation of Fish and Crustaceans

Ecology and conservation of fish and crustaceans, particularly freshwater species, studying habitat and distribution, and using molecular genetics to examine population structure and genetic diversity and the impacts of re-stocking programs.

Behaviour and Ecology of Dolphins

Acoustical and social behaviour of dolphins and their ecology, particularly their use of inshore and estuarine habitats. Interests include wider aspects of dolphine/human interactions, especially as they relate to marine tourism and protected areas.

Courses

Commercial and Recreational Fisheries Management (BL233, third year B.App.Sc.)

Looks at fisheries in the Australian and global contexts, the importance of socio-economic factors in fisheries management and development of property rights. Extensive use is made of case history examples to examine methods, application and outcomes of the various fishery assessment, management and regulation methods adopted in Australia, what works and what doesn't work.

Integrated Project (GG211, third year B.App.Sc.)

Provides students with an opportunity to undertake a major research or applied project involving the application of multidisciplinary skills. This is double-weighted unit. Students prepare a professional standard report on their project.
