A research program at a Seward hatchery keyed to rebuilding collapsed king crab populations in several areas of Alaska has produced several million red king crab larvae. The larvae under the care of the staff at the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery are the offspring of 12 egg-bearing adult king crab gathered from Bristol Bay last fall. The research program, now in its second year, is designed to help scientists and policymakers decide if large-scale hatcheries can be used to...

A Western Australian company has plans to continue research on rock lobster aquaculture, after being granted a Ministerial Exemption to collect 15,000 pueruli to trial its collection and growout infrastructure. Pueruli are usually about 20mm long and previous research has shown hundreds of millions don’t survive through lack of suitable habitat. The puerulus, as it is called, is the very early stage in a rock lobster’s life cycle at which it settles in inshore coastal areas, following...

Fishermen hold empirical knowledge that tuna aggregate under floating objects, such as lengths of old rope, pieces of wood, or even large marine mammals. There is still no full explanation for this aggregation behaviour, but the past 20 years have seen purse-seine fishery operators take advantage of the associated concentrations of fish. Fishermen cast off floating rafts equipped with buoys which act as FADs. An enormous purse-seine net, deployed in a wide arc on either side of the vessel,...

Milking time takes on a very different meaning at one farm in the Yarra Valley each autumn. Thousands of salmon are hand-milked for their roe at Yarra Valley Salmon, the only salmon caviar farm in Australia to do the job by hand. "Other farms kill the fish to extract the roe, then sell the flesh," milking manager Adam Morrow said. "We'd rather hand-milk them then they can go back in the ponds to start producing for next autumn. "Our process...
