Research that works for developing countries and Australia

 

Fisheries

Research Program Manager: Mr Barney Smith
email: smith@aciar.gov.au

The goal of the Fisheries program is to improve the productivity and sustainability of fisheries and aquatic farming systems in partner countries and in Australia through international research partnerships directed at: innovative resource management approaches; the elimination of serious adverse environmental impacts arising from fishing or farming practices; better utilisation of existing harvests; and the development of productive and sustainable aquatic farming systems.
