Fisheries Research Report No. 360: Best practice and policy in Australian abalone stock enhancement, FRDC Project No. 2019/110
No full textThis report provides the most comprehensive evaluation of abalone stock enhancement in Australia to date. The review demonstrates the significant advancements in abalone stock enhancement and concludes that the knowledge and expertise to undertake large-scale (commercial) abalone stock enhancement is present within Australia. The development of policy/guidelines on marine stock enhancement has occurred across all jurisdictions but is still limited in abalone specific policy that could facilitate commercial enhancement programs effectively. Unfortunately, there is a high degree of variability between jurisdictions in both capacity and policy, which was reflected in the jurisdictional scoring against current “best practice” on marine stock enhancement. The framework developed as a National Approach, deciphers the complexity around stock enhancement as a fisheries management tool and provides all jurisdictions with a foundation to investigate enhancement programs that satisfy the objectives of their abalone population/fishery/stakeholders. The versatility of the framework allows any jurisdiction to develop future programs that facilitate the long-term ecological and economic sustainability of Australia’s abalone fisheries

NDP 54 V1 - National diagnostic protocol for Meadow spittlebug (Philaenus spumarius)
No full textNational Diagnostic Protocols (NDPs) are diagnostic protocols for the unambiguous taxonomic identification of plant pests. NDPs: are a verified information resource for plant health diagnosticians are consistent with ISPM No. 27 – Diagnostic Protocols for Regulated Pests provide a nationally consistent approach to the identification of plant pests enabling transparency when comparing diagnostic results between laboratories; and, are endorsed by regulatory jurisdictions for use (either within their own facilities or when commissioning from others) in a pest incursion.
Where an International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) diagnostic protocol exists it should be used in preference to NDPs, unless it is shown that the NDP has improved procedures for Australian conditions. NDPs may contain additional information to aid diagnosis. IPPC protocols are available on the IPPC website:
