Date/Time: Tuesday April 3, 12:00 – 13:00
Venue: IMAS Taroona seminar room

The seminar will cover:

  • the evaluation of whether releases of hatchery fish are likely to increase yields in a fishery for which enhancement has been proposed
  • assessing the likely impacts of releases on the wild stock of the target species (where one exists), and
  • identifying optimal release and harvesting regimes

Bio:
Kai Lorenzen is a Professor in Integrative Fisheries Management at the University of Florida and is visiting Australia through the Australian Seafood CRC visiting scientist program.  He has applied fisheries population dynamics approaches to the enhancement of stocks.
