QDPI - Torres Strait Prawn Project: A review of research 1986-1988

This is an interim report by Queensland's Department of Primary Industries (QDPI) Torres Strait Prawn Project, published in 1990. It represents a portion of three years research, from 1986-1988, which had the following objectives:

1. Determine the distribution and abundance of juvenile prawns in seagrass areas.
2. Establish the timing and pathways of recruitment and migration of the prawns.
3. Collate historical catch data and monitor commercial catch/effort.
4. Determine spawning periods.
5. Establish growth and mortality rates.
6. Assist management in the rationalization of spatial and temporal closures.
7. Assist management in the formulation fo optimum effort levels and of a TAC.

1. 探明海草床区域内幼对虾的分布特征与种群丰度；
2. 明确对虾种群补充与洄游的时间节点及移动路径；
3. 整理历史捕捞数据，并监测商业捕捞量与捕捞努力量；
4. 确定对虾的产卵周期；
5. 测算对虾的生长率与死亡率；
6. 协助管理部门合理规划空间与时间禁捕区域；
7. 协助管理部门制定最优捕捞努力量标准与总可捕量（Total Allowable Catch, TAC）方案。
