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.Refer to the published report:Mellors, J. (ed) (1990) Torres Strait Prawn Project: A review of research 1986-88.

本报告为澳大利亚昆士兰州初级产业部（Queensland Department of Primary Industries, QDPI）托雷斯海峡虾类项目于1990年发布的中期研究报告，其涵盖了1986至1988年三年研究的部分成果，彼时该研究设定了如下目标：
1. 探明海草生境中幼虾的分布与种群丰度；
2. 明确虾类种群补充与洄游的时间节点及迁移路径；
3. 整理历史捕捞数据并监测商业捕捞产量与捕捞努力量；
4. 确定虾类的产卵周期；
5. 测算虾类的生长率与死亡率；
6. 协助管理部门优化时空闭渔措施的合理配置；
7. 协助管理部门制定最优捕捞努力量水平及总允许捕捞量（Total Allowable Catch, TAC）。
