Vulnerability of an iconic Australian finfish (barramundi - Lates calcarifer) and aligned industries to climate change across tropical Australia ; Vulnerability of barramundi to climate change

Abstract

The primary outcome of this project was to provide various stakeholders in the multifaceted barramundi fishery (including both the commercial/recreational wild fishery and aquaculture industry) with targeted scientific data and models assessing the vulnerability of this iconic species to future impacts of climate change. Access to this data will enable stakeholders to identify adaptation strategies and put in place informed planning processes ensuring the future viability of commercial and recreational activities dependent on the species. ; Made available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT). ; Non technical summary -- Acknowledgements -- Background -- Need -- Objectives -- Materials and methods -- Results/Discussion -- Benefits and adoption -- Planned outcomes -- Conclusions -- References -- Appendices ; The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation plans, invests in and manages fisheries research and development throughout Australia.
