Developing research methods that can be used to determine the overall effectiveness of the fish pass facilities.

Final report for ACIAR project FIS/2018/155, aimed at connecting communities and provincial and national line agencies to support national policies to promote healthier, more diverse diets.

Improving returns to the Pacific Island countries' tuna sector

Accelerating the development of finfish mariculture by leveraging previous and ongoing ACIAR investments in Indonesia through south-south cooperation.

Testing fishery management options in inland and delta fisheries, irrigation canals, wetlands and inland coastal areas to sustainably increase fish production and improve benefit-sharing among fish-dependent communities in Myanmar. 

Increasing the production of tilapia and carp with low-cost, farmer-friendly technologies to improve food and income security for PNG smallholders.

Rehabilitating declining capture fisheries in Laos and Myanmar through adoption of fishway technology.

This project aimed to develop an effective stakeholder group that is able to support the development of a more agribusiness, market driven approach to industry development of the smallholder mariculture sector in SE Sulawesi.

This project aimed to determine whether a fishway could be applied as a technology to rehabilitate degraded floodplain fisheries in the Lower Mekong Basin. Globally, fishways have been used to provide connectivity at riverine infrastructure which creates fish migration barriers. Fishways are a channel around or through a migration barrier which allow fish to move volitionally. Many designs are available to facilitate fish passage, but applying designs that have been developed for other species can lead to sub-optimal solutions that can limit recovery outcomes.

This project aims to design a three year research project to explore the options and costs involved in mitigating and adapting to resource impacts of large scale resource development, specifically through a study of lost fish production from infrastructure-induced hydrological change within different agro-/ aqua-ecological zones.

This project aimed to assist collaborations in PNG to establish a marine fish hatchery and undertake some small-scale trials on cage culture of barramundi in Western Province, in Papua New Guinea. View the project page

Focussed on the valuation of fish in rural livelihoods, with Cambodia as a case study of the Mekong Basin, this project developed a new methodology combining quantitative economic surveys and qualitative open discussions. The approach covers income, nutrition, labour, health, and resilience, resulting in a detailed, multifactor assessment of the various roles of fish in rural livelihoods.

A project aimed at the development and refinement of the databases for the dai fishery of the Tonle Sap, and the lee trap and dry-season gillnet fisheries in southern Lao P.D.R.
