MFL was happy to host a visit by Dr Donna Cawthorn from the Mariani MolEcoLab, School of Environment and Life Sciences, University of Salford, UK. Donna is a Marie-Curie Fellow working on snappers (Lutjanidae), which are the most highly prized and important fisheries resources throughout the warm waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. But […]
You may be interested new genetic markers for Golden Snapper, Black Jewfish and Grass Emperor, or the coordinated approach we took to the development of these new tools. See the new publication here @thePeerJ Photo: Jenny Ovenden with Golden Snapper.
Project scientists from Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland are meeting in Brisbane to discuss and synthesise scientific results. New information from genetics, otolith chemistry and parasite has been collected from three important tropical inshore fish species to guide sustainable management into the future. Read more about the project here. L to R: Front Laura Taillebois, […]
Christine Dudgeon has started work at MFL on the NT Fisheries project. Chris will be genotyping three inshore reef species following on from work done at Charles Darwin University by collaborator Laura Taillebois and others. Collection of samples for this project have spanned northern Australia from Queensland to Western Australia. Chris runs the “Spot the Leopard Shark” […]
Perhaps more than other fisheries research, projects involving the application of genetics rely on the expertise and cooperation of others to provide samples for analysis. MFL is pleased to work with a diverse team to define the stock structure of key species in northern Australia. In this project, indigenous rangers, fisheries scientists and government experts […]
Laura Taillebois and Jenny Ovenden are part of a project to understand the population structure of species that are popular with recreational fishers. Damien Broderick holds a Black jewfish (Protonibea dicanthus) caught in waters off Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) by Jenny (right). Laura and Jenny will be combining genetic data with parasite and otolith chemistry information from […]
