Australian Society for Fish Biology Workshop Proceedings, Darwin, Northern Territory, 11-15 July 2005.

"A key objective of the Australian Society for Fish Biology is to foster the expertise of our nation?s current and future aquatic resource scientists and managers. In achieving this objective, the Society?s annual workshop and conference has become a leading forum for the exchange and discussion of information pertaining to all fields of aquatic science. Each year, the Society explores a new topic in its annual workshop. In 2005, the workshop was hosted by the Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines in the Northern Territory. The theme for the workshop was ?Monitoring Fish Stocks and Aquatic Ecosystems?, which built on the previous year?s theme of ?Ecosystem research and management?. Reviewing the way we approach monitoring in Australia was considered timely given recent widespread changes in the way we utilise and manage aquatic resources." - ForewardMade available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).Chpt. 1: Introduction to monitoring -- Chpt. 2: Setting the scene with international examples -- Chpt. 3: Monitoring commercial, recreational and indigenous fisheries -- Chpt. 4: Fisheries independent and ecosystem monitoring -- Chpt. 5: Abstracts -- Appendix 1-2
